Why is it so hard to quit smoking, drinking, or put down the phone? Experts say it’s not weakness but wiring. Our brains evolved to seek rewards that once ensured survival, but today’s substances and screens hijack that same system. #BrainHealth

Busy adults often falsely believe that fun should somehow just happen. Left to chance, their days get filled with other people's priorities and distractions. Here's how they can carve out time for intentional renewal instead, by @performbetter

If you want to add a multiplier to that, have them actually schedule those goals in their calendar. Precommitment is one of the most undervalued levers in behavioral science (that's behavioural to you @guru_paul 😉).
For each goal that a member reports making progress on, their risk of cancelling in the next month falls by approximately 10%. Tracking visit frequency as a goal is just as important as other physiological measures. #lunchtimelessons

I'm not a big podcast guy (yet), but episodes like this one are changing that. This one is packed with takeaways. @jaypapasan is a wealth of knowledge, and @nathanbarry is a great interviewer. There's a "you put your chocolate in my peanut butter" metaphor there somewhere.
Loved getting to be a part of one my favorite podcasts!

One of the best things about fun is that it's personal—what’s fun for one of us might be dreadful for another. Our sense of humor is no different. That’s why workplace humor is tricky. Done right, it builds trust and connectedness. Done wrong, it creates stress and
