BITESIZE | The Surprising Secret to Making New Habits Stick | Professor Michael Norton #566

from Feel Better, Live More with Dr Rangan Chatterjee · host Dr Rangan Chatterjee: GP & Author

How can we create new habits – and stick to them? Is it really a case of will power, motivation, then repetition? Or could there be a simpler approach?   Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.   Today’s clip is from episode 452 of the podcast with Harvard Professor, and a leading behavioral scientist, Michael Norton.   We can all make short-term changes, but so many of us struggle to make our new desired behaviours last. In this clip we explore the difference between rituals and routines, and Michael shares why turning our desired habits into rituals can be really helpful in making them stick for the long term.
