2- It has been a long time sice we last suggested a podcast. Here is our recommendation for this week about habit formation:

Spotify | Apple Podcast | Google Podcast

“In this episode of the podcast, Sam Harris speaks with James Clear about habit formation. They discuss the difference between creating good habits and discontinuing bad ones, the role of the environment, the misalignment between immediate and long term outcomes, the remembering self vs the experiencing self, goals vs systems, the compounding of incremental gains, the role of attention, the four laws of behavior change, “temptation bundling,” and other topics.”
