#107 - Art Markman, PhD, author of "Smart Thinking – Five Tools to Create New and Sustainable Habits in Yourself and Others". Your brain is a habit making machine and Art dissects this and gets to the root of why we have habits, good and bad and how to overcome them if desired.

Art has authored articles and books and is on the faculty of the University of Texas. We chat about the matter of our brains and how they are striving for efficiency. Art get's into our motivational system and the psychology and behavioral science behind our thinking.
