Habits may help us to carry out our daily routine but they often cause us trouble, from unhealthy eating and smoking, to poor study skills and work routines. We've all experienced that endless frustration when we try to kick a bad habit. The frustration you have now will soon be over. Our guest is a premier cognitive scientist and draws on all the latest scientific research to help us succeed in beating bad habits. With the help of today's book, not only does he help us to understand just how habits are formed and maintained but he equips us with 5 essential tools to help us change our behaviour for the better and, what's more, influence the behaviour of others at work and at home.

These same tools can also be used to help people around us change their behaviours, and this book shows us how. It is a great instruction manual for influencing others.

It is a pleasure to welcome the author of  "Smart Change: Break the habits that hold you back and form the habits of success", Art Markman, welcome to the show
