WHOOP Podcast

Goal Setting, Life Transitions, and Decision Making with Neuroscientist Dr. Maya Shankar


Listen Later

With summer ending, back to school routines happening at home, and the need to get back to healthy habits, we wanted to bring back a fantastic conversation between WHOOP Global Head of Human Performance, Principal Scientist Kristen Holmes and cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Maya Shankar. Maya is also a former White House Senior Advisor, and creator of the top podcast, A Slight Change of Plans. Kristen and Maya discuss studying violin under Itzhak Perlman (2:22), how a hand injury spurred what Maya calls identity foreclosure (5:21), transitioning to a career in neuroscience (8:48), the endowment effect (16:43), the benefits of the fresh start effect (19:15), how to think about restarting after your goals have been derailed (21:29), the best ways to cement new habits (26:08), the power of data and behavior science (30:18), how to make good decisions (31:57), and the illusion of control (34:49).
