In this Radical Responsibility episode, I chat with Dr. Kelly McGonigal, a health psychologist, educator, and author who specializes in understanding the mind-body connection. She is well known for her best-sellers The Willpower Instinct and The Upside of Stress. Her latest book, The Joy of Movement, explores why physical exercise is a powerful antidote to the modern epidemics of depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Today we chat about the science behind willpower and how aligning our values and relationships with our goals can change our lives more sustainably.
We also chat about:
-The biggest barriers to making positive change in your life
-How to put your wiser self in charge of as many choices as possible
-How to make choices that are consistent with your values and your goals
-Breaking free of behaviors you really struggle with
-Giving your energy to what matters most
