Art Markman is a professor of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. Art writes for the Harvard Business Review and his most recent book, Brain Briefs, focuses on how we use the science of motivation to change unhealthy behaviours at work and at home. In a terrific show, we cover how to frame our goals for success better, how to improve our focus, how to learn more effectively, and how to control the disempowering effect of social comparison. When people ask Art what he does, how does he like to reply? A Professor gets paid to be confused. Can that be taken as a negative? What's the thing we don't know but should know about our minds? What's the psychology behind changing a behaviour which is not helping us? Frame goals around go, not stop Make desirable behaviours easy, and undesirable behaviours hard How design beats discipline Focus on the process, not the outcomes. Is there a cognitive trigger we can use to develop sustainable change? Should we plan for what might go wrong and visualise the hardships? Getting ready for the most significant hurdles can change disempowering behaviour Can there be a sense of shame or guilt that accompanies goal setting? What are social comparisons and the effect it has on our wellness and our feeling of fulfilment Dissatisfaction is a good thing, and how it gives you the energy to act Wanting dissatisfaction alone can be frustrating. What else do we need with dissatisfaction? Are regrets positive? As we get older, do we talk ourselves into cognitive decline? Can we slow down time? Where is the sweet spot between gratitude and dissatisfaction? Is gratitude a way to move away from social comparison? You can't fix an area you are not aware of, does it take a certain amount of humility? When learning should we go wide or go deep? What is the cognitive science behind sleep? What's the newest, coolest discovery in psychology?

You may not have ever noticed this but hotels rarely offer milkshakes on their room service menu. And yet, if a hotel has a kitchen there is a good chance they have ice cream milk and a blender. But if you try to order a milkshake you probably won’t get it. Why not? The answer is simple, ridiculous and points out a big problem in American business today. (Steve Little author of The Milkshake Moment)Why does time seem to go by faster as we get older? Why do people love kitten videos? How can you spot a liar?
