It's Not About the Alcohol

EP152 Why your motivation is unreliable and how neuroscience can help you change with Unstoppable Brain author Dr. Kyra Bobinet


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like you know exactly what you should be doing but you just can’t get yourself to do it?

 

Most of us have learned to get what we want by setting clear and specific goals and then using metrics to judge our success. We focus on changing the numbers–obsessing over how much we weigh, how much we drink or how much money we have in the bank. 

 

But even when we achieve the goal, our motivation to keep making an effort eventually fades. And we feel increasingly disappointed, frustrated and helpless as our progress slips away–like we’re doomed for failure.

 

Dr. Kyra Bobinet, MD, MPH is a behavior change designer who is here to share her ground-breaking research on how the brain responds to the illusion of failure. You’ll learn how to apply her Iterative Mindset to work with your brain so that you can access your inner wisdom, and liberate your motivation.
