Our modern world emphasizes a need for change. Yet when we have major disruptions in our lives, we seek routine and structure. Why is that?

 

On this week’s show, I’m joined by a guest who reminds us how important routines are for living a life with deeper meaning. Angel Iscovich is a philosopher who happened to be trained in medicine. 

 

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and immigrating to the United States made for a world of opportunity, leading to a journey of thought, medicine, and compassion in the hopes of making for a better world.

 

Angel recently authored the new book The Art of the Routine, where he explores the concept of routineology and how creating a routine that works for you can improve longevity, performance, and adaptability.

 

Tune in to hear:

 

• Why humans perform best with consistency and structure in our lives
  
  
• What a “time bubble” is (and why disrupting your time bubble is so painful)
  
  
• Why we instinctively seek routine when have too much change at once
  
  
• How to cope with the loss of social relationships after retirement
  
  
• Angel’s advice on how to defeat distractions and stick to your routines
  
  
• The power of synchronizing your biological clock with a daily schedule
