Host Eric Zimmer sits down with Katy Milkman, a professor at the Wharton School and co-founder of the Behavior Change for Good Initiative, to break down the science behind making lasting changes in your life.

They also explore the power of both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in driving sustainable change.

Whether you're looking to break a bad habit or start a new one, this episode offers valuable tools and inspiration for personal growth and transformation.
