How to Break Unwanted Habits and How to Create New Desired Ones with Adam Grant and Wendy Wood

When it comes to making and breaking habits, conventional wisdom is that the key to success is willpower. If you want something badly enough, then you’ve just got to keep at it. If you don’t get the results you want, it’s because you gave up. Your commitment to change wavered.
But according to Wendy Wood, University of Southern California Professor of Psychology and Business and the leading scientist on the nature of habit, conventional wisdom is all wrong. Wood has spent decades researching daily experiences and habits, only to conclude that willpower and determination have little to do with successful habit change.
White-knuckling temptation, in fact, is a scientifically proven path to failure. And those “high control” super-achievers that seem to effortlessly resist temptation-they aren’t actually using more self-control than the ordinary person. Instead, they’re replacing self-control with habits. By automating their desired behavior, they’re creating the persistence they need to achieve their goals.
In Good Habits, Bad Habits, Wendy Wood provides the first scientifically grounded analysis of habit formation. Drawing on her extensive research, Wood explains the complex processes behind habits, diving deep into the three bases for habit formation: context, repetition, and reward. She goes on to provide a toolkit for how to get rid of old, unwanted habits and how to create new, desired ones. Surprising, practical, and accessible, Good Habits, Bad Habits reveals how to form habits that work with us, not against us-and make real change in both our personal and professional lives.

Definitely he placed you on the spot with the first question but also it teaches humbleness from your side. Being a PHD, but human that also is in the process of growing. Thanks Ms. Wood for sharing that example. I really learned from it.

Adam, that fact that you are not time conditioned is a sign that to you are free , or that you work alone.

[@Motivational.Quotes10k]

In a team work time synchronization is essential. But I slow down deliberately, to show power...in a team work.... When I work alone ....the pomodoro technic is a self imposed time control method...

[@Motivational.Quotes10k]

In the future will be two kind of people... those who know behavioral psychology and those who are controlled by it...:)

this guy turned his podcast into a therapy session. SMH.

He did to a certain point - his view that lateness seems pretty self serving and he has decided to be late with little insight into self or whether he is impacting others and how they might be interpreting his lateness - it is nice to be in the position of never waiting - it is not nice to begin the position of being the waiter - the person who is making others wait - needs to look at his level of need for control
