#360 ‒ How to change your habits: why they form and how to build or break them | Charles Duhigg, M.B.A

In this episode of The Drive Podcast, Peter Attia interviews Charles Duhigg, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author, about the science of habit formation. They discuss the neuroscience of habits, the cue-routine-reward loop, the effectiveness of positive versus negative reinforcement, and how environments can be structured to transform behaviors. They also explore willpower, the myth of the 21-day habit, parenting strategies for building better habits in children, the power of social accountability, and the role of identity and purpose in reinforcing habits, drawing examples from the military, Alcoholics Anonymous, and everyday life. The conversation further explores strategies for creating new habits, changing existing ones, and the role of AI in behavior modification.
