Why is it so easy to pick up a bad habit and so grueling to break one? And why does willpower always seem to fail us when we need it most?

In this episode, I’m joined once again by neuroscientist and bestselling author Dr. Dean Burnett to break down the mechanics of habits, cravings, and addiction.

We explore why habits become "automated" like riding a bike, how addiction creates a biological "arms race" in your reward system, and the truth behind our relationship with social media and smartphones. Dr. Burnett explains why passive scrolling feels so "brain-numbing" and provides actionable, science-backed strategies to help you reprogram your routines by working with your biology instead of against it.
