This podcast interviews Dr. Andrew Abela about his new book, *Superhabits*, which presents a framework for cultivating virtuous habits based on Thomas Aquinas's work. The conversation explores the differences between Dr. Abela's approach and other habit-formation methods, focusing on *which* habits to cultivate (the 50 virtues identified by Aquinas) rather than *how* to cultivate them. A key takeaway is the concept of "superhabits" as pre-existing capacities within individuals that can be activated through practice, with self-discipline as a foundational virtue. Listeners gain a practical understanding of how to identify and address personal obstacles to virtuous habit formation, ultimately leading to improved personal and professional success through a structured approach to character development.
