- I just want to let anyone who’s reading this, and going through a tough time know that it’s going to be okay. You’ll get through it! ✨

You'll only get through it ok if you work for that outcome. Nothing is guaranteed.

Thank you for such kind words

This is why living alone is waaaaay underrated. Living with other people is like living in a chaotic pen full of crazed animals. Everyone's running around you, you don't control what's in the refrigerator, you don't control the expenses in the house, you can't throw out useless stuff, you're constantly interrupted, someone always nags, and the only way to have a little bit of peace is to wake up 3 hours before everyone else does. I love living alone, the habits got fixed overnight the moment I moved. I finally got the schedule I always wanted, lost 30 pounds without even trying, and finally had my peace. Want habits? Live alone!

[@warriordx5520]

Even if you don't live alone you can keep a personal area in the place

[@filipinomillennialmindset4689]

This is so true. I needed way less willpower when I was living alone. I know my food cravings and I never stocked any of them in the fridge. But when I transferred house, I couldn't control what's going in the fridge. I'm not blaming my housemates though. I guess I just need to develop new habits in the environment I'm currently in.

[@laurieclarkson9180]

so true! Great observation!

[@eduardoreyes9106]

I can agree 100 based on my personal experience for the last 3 years. Love living alone. 😊😊😊😊

[@deniseseibt5065]

Love the exercise he shared about how to identify cues - thats powerful stuff! Here's my notes in case any of you didn't pick it up: The next few time you feel the instinct write down 5 things (habits fall into these categories 95% of the time)
 1. Certain time of the day 
 2. particular place 
 3. certain emotion 
 4. Presence of certain other people 
 5. Preceding behavior that has become ritualized

[@podcastsyoutube5524]

Thank you

[@laurieclarkson9180]

Thank you! I'm thinking about quitting smoking and how to tackle it. Thing is, I feel like there's a million different cues..or maybe there's one underlying one and I'm missing it.

[@paulc8022]

I’ve been down for a couple of weeks emotionally and was looking for a way to snap out of it, man this was great and is moving me in the right direction! Thanks!

[@lukasminster1852]

This is truly a masterclass on how to take control over your life!! So damn good!! Thank you guys you are both really brilliant speakers and communicators. Now it's action time!

[@1alexruss]

Unconditional love for your kids is powerful!!!! Let's do this today parents.

[@NathalieLazo]

Incredible person reading this, you have everything there is to succeed in life, whatever that is for you. Go after the life you truly want NOW! ✨ I believe in you! Love - Nat ❤️

[@progressandproductivity]

First time I found a podcast with Charles Duhigg. I was always wondering how come everyone invites James Clear on their podcast and not Charles. Thank you soo much for finally doing so🙂 I also agree the Power of Habit is one of the best books out there

[@BrandonHalo]

Ed has recommended a couple great books about Habits, and the Duhigg book was one of em. Another one Ed recommended was Perfect Day Formula by Ballantyne, and I also love James Clear "Atomic Habits" as well.

[@shulibitton2045]

This interview is especially for me! I'm aware of the habit loop (cue-craving ,routine, reward) however since I suffer from low level OCD it's really hard for me to break my bad habit loops. What a great story about Fabreze!!! Habits are neurological cravings-what a great definition! I'm always working on improving my "bad" habits by trying to change my routine or behavior.This is definitely my next book to read-"The Power of Habit". Thanks Ed for all of your amazing interviews! and thanks Charles Duhigg for sharpening my understanding about changing my behavior or routine in order to gain control back #MAXOUT from Israel

[@the.bonsai.samurai]

So good! 💪

[@StevenJQuiroga]

Wow..This is so good!!!I am on a weightloss journey and my running thought on the treadmill this morning was about the correlation with making better habits in my overall health and how I will continue to build and make better habits in other areas of my life and how that will improve my financial habits.I believe wealth and health are so so strongly connected.I have been overweight my entire adult life and I am not financially where I would like to be and I look at the big factor of how bad my nutrition and exercise habits have been..My thoughts are,I haven't been disciplined with my health and I am sure that leads to other bad habits I am making and areas I am not disciplined. I HAVE been on my journey for a month and half.Eating better,exercising more and am starting to see how it is improving my mindset already by creating other good habits in my life.I am starting to become more and more grateful everyday, Journaling more,becoming more intentional,feeling amazing and thinking what else can I improve on..This is so powerful. That's for the great message you delivered today.

[@mediasinger7090]

Ed sees what’s unique and admirable about each guest and holds it up for all to see.

[@abiola5757]

You will want to watch this repeatedly... definitely worth your time. Thanks guys

[@ralphyoung2147]

Great interview!! I got so much from this and can see where I’m going wrong in my life. Improvements to come! Thanks Ed!! #MAXOUT💪🏻

[@EncoreMoney]

💯

[@jorgelsantiagojr]

Just bought his book in Spanish and I can’t stop reading it.

[@ianseidel93]

I really love the part about writing on a card the cues that happen before triggering you to react negatively towards your children or family thanks another great one much love

[@jaredbaldwin1972]

I have read the book, but the interview really helps reinforce the principles. In answer to your questions... Way too often and yes... at 49, after being a pastor and a counselor to so many other people, I feel like I have not effectively set myself up for maxing out my life. Thanks for reminding me of some of the most important reasons to set those habits.

[@miracleplanters532]

Great Job Ed...More Power God Bless Brother.

[@williameberle4250]

Oh, how I wish I'd heard this interview when I started practicing yoga forty-nine years ago. I would have been where I am now forty-four years ago. But would my ears have been open enough to hear it? I was such an expert ...

[@jackiec429]

Wow! So much goodness here. I can't even figure out how to make myself get up on time for work anymore

[@martinmunz7171]

I have 10 kids, I have been competed in Fintness before, I have had habit to train before I got my kids, but now when I have so many kids its dosnt work out when I train after workday and my wife wasnt happy with that eather. So I had to promise that I dont train when the kids are wake, I had to start to train before work, and now this is habit what I do 5 times per week. Now I know that it the best to train before work, then I get great energy for whole day plus I can spend more time with my family

[@warriordx5520]

I have been studying my habits recently to change them and im actively changing my habits to 1st a better close alternative like instead of a full cup of coffee everday make it every 2 days which is harder but drinking half a cup everyday is much easier so do what's easy first and gradually change your habits and most importantly PLEASE don't think if it's unnecessary to think basically just do if you dont have to think to change your habit then simply don't like for example you want to turn from lazy to energetic which is your problem the solution is working out don't think about working out it's a physical activity then just do the activity no matter what comes across your mind just ignore it because you know this is the only solution and your mind is distracting you because it's new and hard and scary so just focus and don't think because habits happen without you even being mentally aware of it they just happen

[@victoriaaragon9294]

I love this!! I’m actually reading atomic habits currently so I’m definitely going to get this book!!

[@ahmedomri51]

Highly recommend it

[@the.bonsai.samurai]

Atomic habits changed my life completely! 💪 Think Ed interviewed James like 3 months ago.

[@jessc473]

This is probably one of my favorite interviews you’ve ever done. Thank you! This was extremely helpful.

[@carolpaventi1285]

I loved and missed your show very❤ much. I love the way you interview. I love who you interview. So thank you❗

[@kenaland6537]

[@JM-zi4in]

This episode is brilliant! It reframes everything. It's getting a new perspective on everything you do. Tons of actual useful insight that can be applied today! Thanks

#thepowerofhabit #maxout Shared with my community today. Made my lunchtime walk infinitely better! Thank you Ed and Charles :)

[@frankandrews1461]

This is POWERFUL! Thank you the timing couldn’t be more perfect. Learning how to create good habits to become a better version of yourself

[@kipj9900]

I will be listening to this on repeat WOW!!!!!!!

[@tromoo47]

Ed, thank you for always wanting to add value to people. This was awesome! Your so real and your guests are always so great. Thank you for helping change my life.

[@heidimariemarney]

I am so grateful for coming across this video! Thank you so much for sharing! I have been doing best to create habits for years and now I understand why they don’t work. I always go big and don’t have a reward! It’s too much for my brain and body to sustain! Thank you!!! ❤️

[@vmDigitalLifestylepro]

Love Charles ....thanks for all that you've been doing to help us navigate life....as habits do make or break us. Awareness is key and you have open our eyes 👀 to the truth about us as humans in a scientific way interms of why we do or don't do what needs to be done.

[@apelu101]

I cannot wait to read this book! 📚 awesome interview to watch just before work (Melbourne, Australia) 👋🏼

[@millionairementormatt]

Ed is always full of great advice and motivation. I Loved Charles' book, "The Power of Habit", it was a great read that opened my eyes to my own behaviors. Another great book to read is "Atomic Habits" by James Clear, combine these two together, and you have a potent mix to rid yourself of bad habits, and build good systems.

[@aussieheroesgroup]

Thank you 🙏

[@MrCodyCalhoun]

I use coffee for the same replacement, it’s amazing how often we’re trying to solve the same problems with the same solutions. Success leaves clues. I really liked the decaf idea as well. Brilliant episode.

[@rebeccahaass7147]

Great information. I have fallen off many wagons that I'm working towards getting back on. Thank you for information and helpful tips to start moving in the direction of change. I appreciate you both.

[@UniGram1]

Another great piece of Content, thank you ED and your teams. You give me the tools to level up!

[@MyStutteringLife]

This is such an AMAZING INTERVIEW!! I'm wanting to equate this to my stutter but I'm still sorting that out. When I do a presentation (the queue) either horrible or not due to my stutter and the reward would be "whew......look what I did...." I'm going to email Charles Duhigg for clarification. Thank you Ed for this interview!!

[@sandram6913]

Love this interview. Thank you.

[@cd9869]

This was so eye-opening! Thank you so much, Ed for always giving us such useful information and interviews with awesome people to help us be better in all areas of our life.

[@jeremiahbenton3946]

Learning what your “Triggers” are and having “Rewards” for the habits that serve you; So powerful. Gave me a different perspective on habits & how to distinguish Btwn them!

[@Sonic15ify]

This is awesome! I read the Power of Habit 2 years ago and it’s been a HUGE help. The thing I took away from this is that the Basel Ganglia is a muscle in your brain that you have to constantly work on and that it does get tired.

[@DevinTheGardener]

Your interviews are outstanding Ed! Love them and learn so much.

[@valn.6584]

I wish I could have any reward. I have no joy, hope, pleasure or happiness. I feel empty. Alone. Pensive sadness. I can't get out of bed. No appetite. I listen to these shows to see if it will help spark any life in me I have left. But it doesn't. I just want the emotional pain to stop. I'm so tired. I think my reward will be when I close my eyes and God takes me from this world. Depression is hell. So I rather go to heaven.

[@seanmathews957]

I have been there too. Sorry you are going through this. I try to listen to Ed and Mel Robbins everyday and it seems to be helping. I am trying to start the habit of walking. I hope you find help my friend.

[@thelitdave]

Start small, make a commiserate reward, and take the action! This is a great episode! #maxout

[@abdulazizalmaneea177]

Idk Ed personally but I can tell he’s sincere and wants to help you.

[@elijahperez159]

One of the best interviews yet my brother. That man just made it as simple as possible. His analogies fit perfectly with my life. #maxout

[@mywifebuys4434]

Absolutely fantastic advice! I’m sharing this and listening again. Thank you!

[@josiahtibs]

Great interview! Thank you both for taking the time to make this happen! When you were talking about the neurological response to habits, it made me think of Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work where he discusses how our bodies get addicted to the chemicals that are created from developing habits. The habits can be beneficial or not beneficial but once you repeat it for so long, the body craves the chemical release that comes from performing the habit. So interesting! Thanks again for all the great info!

[@NuCaesar]

I watch your interviews and cover my desk in post-it notes with all the GEMs that are getting dropped. This was one of my favorites! #HabitsAreLife

This s the path to self- regulation and self- mastery!

[@nipsy_lafett]

💯❤️‍🔥 thank you for putting this out there Ed. You’re a lighthouse brother

[@dr.josephcampbell5448]

This was definitely a great episode. However I will always feel everything we do is always choice. And at anytime, at any point we can do differently because we choose to. Yes habits form for all sorts of reasons and yeah mostly because of some rewards but addiction sucks. And after a while the addiction is not pleasing and can be so so hard to break free of and be happy again. I love all of your stuff, rock on, maxout, follow your bliss.

[@warriordx5520]

Its basically repeating something over a longer period of time in the same way turns into a behaviour a habit it becomes programmed in your mind but that something can still happen only once and be okay and there is certain factors that makes it easier to turn into a habit like how much you can repeat it its the volume that counts so getting addicted to drugs for example its basically very easy to do drugs so it becomes addictive and the easier it is to be that the harder to quit whatever the addiction you got addiction is just a word to describe a strong habit sometimes its good like im addicted to books the choice slowly disappears the stronger the habit becomes but changing it is always a choice

[@JenF-m5g]

Thank you! Just started watching your videos!!

[@Jmonkey8o8]

Thank you Ed 🙏 and thank you sir with the nice beard 🙏

[@travislivingston378]

I used to train people and I always would get into their mind don't look at fitness or working out as a chore think of it as a fun activity the more people view it as a chore the more they program their mind to look at it as a chore

[@Khanyisile3]

Thank you so much for this.

[@carolyngialamas2335]

Ed I'm wondering if you were referring to your friend and business partner Andy Friseslla by chance. Also since I have been doing #75hard and now I'm doing Phase 1 of #livehard I have noticed that my habits have a whole new meaning. They have a full purpose. I'm also excited to get Charles book in the mail today as well I have pre-ordered your book. So June can't come fast enough. One of the thing I have noticed, specially since other people have said this to me, that I'm mentally stronger. #MAXOUT all the time

[@lilovestich-t8t]

Antisemitism lives in the foundations of human society and human nature. The human ego-the desire to enjoy at the expense of others and nature-evolves throughout history and during a person’s life. The more it grows, the more it feels an opposite force also dwelling within. That opposite force is called a “point in the heart.” Contrary to our egoistic desires that wish solely to absorb pleasures into themselves, the point in the heart is a desire that has potential to develop into a desire that loves, gives and positively connects to others. The point in the heart is also known as the seed of the soul, as we can develop it to discover our soul-the connection that underlies those very points. The realization of the potential encased in this small point of desire is the ability to rise above the human ego, where instead of detaching from one another through our growing egoism, i.e. increasingly prioritizing self-benefit over benefiting others, we instead prioritize the benefit of others and positive human connection. The point in the heart is the opposite of our egoistic nature. There are people who host only the negative egoistic force, and there are people who have both the negative egoistic force and the positive altruistic force. When both positive and negative forces coexist in us, then we become called “Jews” or “Israel” according to our inner essence. Likewise, if we solely host the negative egoistic force with no revelation yet of the point in the heart, then we are called “nations of the world” according to that essence. We underwent several stages of development throughout history. The point in the heart first surfaced throughout human society in ancient Babylon. The Babylonians who felt the inner urge to seek something deeper in life beyond the earthly egoistic desires joined Abraham, who taught a method for how to nurture the point in the heart in order to rise above the ego and positively connect. Abraham organized the Babylonians who wanted to study with him into a group, and he called this group “Israel,” which is made up of the words “Yashar Kel” (“straight to God”), i.e. people who aim themselves directly at the attainment of nature’s upper force of love, bestowal and connection, which is opposed to the force existing in human beings, the force of reception. Since Abraham’s time, the two groups-Israel and the nations of the world-have undergone much development. Some from the Israel camp left the group to pursue their natural egoistic inclinations, i.e. with an inclination to the nations of the world, while some from the nations of the world felt that they possess a special closeness and connection, which draws them to Israel. In other words, Jews are not a nationality, but they are people who host the point in the heart, which associates them with the positive force of nature, and which is opposite to the egoistic force that we are born and raised with by nature. The source of antisemitism is in the contrast and conflict between the two opposite desires of our inborn egoism and the point in the heart that can develop our ability to rise above the human ego.
