About this listen

At a time when most people set New Year's resolutions but only a few keep them, this episode explains the neurobiology and psychology behind habits—how the striatum, frontal cortex and dopamine create shortcuts that drive behaviour.

Learn the habit loop (cue → craving → response → reward) and the four laws for change: make cues obvious, cravings attractive, responses easy and rewards satisfying. Practical tips include habit stacking, shaping your environment, removing bad cues, and using accountability and gratitude to reinforce success.
