In today’s episode, you’re going to learn an easy and proven way to build good habits and break bad ones.
Here to offer you a guide to improving your life, no matter what your goals are, is James Clear – the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Atomic Habits, which is one of Mel’s favorite books.
James Clear is one of the world’s leading experts on habit formation and behavior change. His work has helped millions of people lose weight, quit smoking and vaping, stop drinking, build businesses, start new chapters, achieve lifelong goals, and become the person they want to be.
In this conversation, James reveals a simple truth most people never learn: if you’re struggling to change your habits, the problem isn’t you – it’s your systems.
Bad habits don’t repeat because you lack motivation or willpower. They repeat because your system is designed to produce them.
James breaks down the proven frameworks behind lasting change and explains how tiny, consistent improvements compound into extraordinary results over time.
