Are You Ready for a Fresh Start? (Ep. 455 Replay)

from Freakonomics Radio · host Freakonomics Radio + Stitcher

Behavioral scientists have been exploring if — and when — a psychological reset can lead to lasting change. We survey evidence from the London Underground, Major League Baseball, and New Year’s resolutions; we look at accidental fresh starts, forced fresh starts, and fresh starts that backfire. And we wonder: will the pandemic’s end provide the biggest fresh start ever?  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
