In this episode, Charles explores the neuroscience behind habit formation, including how cue-routine-reward loops drive nearly half of our daily actions and why positive reinforcement is far more effective than punishment. He explains how institutions like the military and Alcoholics Anonymous engineer environments to change behavior at scale, as well as discussing the limits of willpower and how to preserve it by shaping context. The conversation also covers the real timeline of habit formation, how to teach better habits to kids, the role of failure and self-compassion in lasting change, and the power of social accountability. Charles further discusses how cognitive routines enhance productivity and creativity, how to gamify long-term goals through immediate rewards, why identity and purpose are often the strongest forces behind sustainable behavior change, and the potential of AI to power habit change. We discuss: How Charles's background in journalism and personal experiences led to his interest in habit formation [3:15]; The science behind reinforcement: why positive rewards outperform punishment in habit formation [10:15]; How the military uses habit science to train soldiers using cues, routines, and rewards [17:15]; Methods for creating good habits and eliminating bad ones: environmental control, small wins, rewards-based motivation, and more [24:00]; How parents can teach kids to build habits and strengthen willpower [32:15]; How adults experience changes in motivation and cue effectiveness over time, and why willpower must be managed like a finite resource [34:30]; Keys to successful habit change: planning for relapse, learning from failure, and leveraging social support [38:00]; Advice for parents: praise effort, model habits, and normalize failure [47:45]; The time required for making or breaking a habit [50:45]; The different strategies for creating new habits vs. changing existing ones, and the crucial role of cues and reward timing [55:15]; How to create habits around long-term goals when the rewards are delayed (like saving money) [1:01:45]; How to stick with good habits that offer no immediate reward: designing reinforcements and identity-based motivation [1:11:15]; The potential for AI to provide social reinforcement [1:16:45]; Mental habits: how thought patterns and contemplative routines shape deep thinking, innovation, and high-stakes performance [1:23:30]; How cognitive routines boost productivity and habit formation but may stifle creativity [1:35:15]; Contemplative routines: using stillness to unlock deeper productivity and creativity [1:40:45]; How habits reduce decision fatigue and enable deep, high-quality productivity [1:44:15]; New research that reveals the power of environment and social feedback in habit formation [1:49:45]; How AI may transform work, identity, and our sense of purpose [1:53:45]; The potential of AI-powered habit change, and the essential—but often lacking—element of motivation [2:02:30]; and More.

We've all had conversations that go sideways. Not because we said the wrong thing, but because we weren't speaking the same language. In this week's episode of Hello Monday, Jessi Hempel sits down with Charles Duhigg, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author, to unpack the science of great communication.

It's another Throwback Thursday, where we dig into the vault and find gold from days gone by. Here, we're dipping into the archives clear back to 2012 when Rich did a webinar where he breaks down a book called “The Power of Habit” by Charles Duhigg. It's a good book, and therefore, a good webinar/podcast… as Rich distills the most important parts for your listening convenience. First, he reviews principles from the book… then he talks about how to implement positive habits into your company and your marketing… and also your personal life.

In this episode of People Solve Problems, host Jamie Flinchbaugh welcomes Dr. Greg Jacobson, CEO and Co-founder of KaiNexus, for an insightful conversation about the intersection of medical training, psychological safety, and continuous improvement culture. Greg's journey into the world of Lean and Kaizen began in 2004 when his department chairman handed him Masaaki Imai's book "Kaizen" and said, "You think like this." As an emergency medicine doctor, Greg was immediately struck by the realization that there was an entire discipline focused on improving systems. He recognized that healthcare had so many operational inefficiencies that applying these principles in the emergency department could yield tremendous results through solving basic problems and capturing low-hanging fruit. The conversation explores how Greg's medical background both helps and hinders systematic thinking about business problems. He explains that physicians are trained with a scientific mindset where every patient encounter resembles an experiment - gathering evidence, forming hypotheses, running tests, and evaluating outcomes. This mirrors the problem-solving methodology used in Lean thinking, making the transition natural for some medical professionals. However, the competitive nature required to succeed in medical school and residency can create fixed mindsets and reduce curiosity, as many doctors become accustomed to being the "alpha dog" who always has the right answers. A significant portion of the discussion focuses on psychological safety and its critical role in enabling improvement. Greg defines psychological safety as "being rewarded for being vulnerable" - whether that's admitting you don't know something, raising concerns about broken processes, or challenging existing systems. Through his experience working in emergency departments across the United States and even New Zealand, he observed that departments where people felt safe to speak up consistently had better outcomes than those where the culture encouraged keeping quiet and just getting the job done. Jamie and Greg explore how technology systems can actually enhance psychological safety by creating a buffer between individuals and problems. When issues are logged in a system rather than raised face-to-face, it shifts the dynamic from personal confrontation to collaborative problem-solving. The issue becomes the common enemy that everyone works together to address, rather than a source of interpersonal tension. Greg notes that rather than reducing human interaction, electronic systems actually increase communication by creating visibility and fostering engagement around improvement opportunities. The conversation turns to habit science and its application to continuous improvement culture. Greg credits reading "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg, "Atomic Habits" by James Clear, and "Tiny Habits" by BJ Fogg with transforming both his personal life and his understanding of organizational change. He explains how KaiNexus applies the habit loop concept - cue, routine, reward - to create interconnected behaviors across different organizational levels. The routine of one person becomes the trigger for another person's habit, creating a web of positive behaviors that sustain improvement culture. When asked about his personal habit transformation, Greg shares how he moved from being an inconsistent squash player who would "demolish his body" once or twice a week to someone who exercises daily. After tearing his ACL in his forties, he used habit science principles to change his identity and create sustainable physical activity routines. Throughout the discussion, Greg emphasizes that KaiNexus is fundamentally about the human transformation that technology enables, not the technology itself. The platform's value comes from people interacting with it in specific ways that foster continuous improvement behaviors across the organization.

Este libro explora la ciencia de los hábitos, desglosando cómo se forman, persisten y pueden ser modificados, tanto a nivel individual como organizacional. Se presentan casos como el de Lisa, cuya experiencia personal ayudó a los científicos a comprender la neurobiología de los hábitos, especialmente el papel de los ganglios basales. El autor examina cómo las empresas aprovechan las señales y recompensas para moldear el comportamiento del consumidor, ejemplificado por el éxito de Pepsodent y el desafío de Febreze, y cómo la fuerza de voluntad puede entrenarse como un hábito. Además, se analizan los hábitos sociales que impulsan movimientos de cambio, como el boicot de autobuses de Montgomery, y se considera la responsabilidad individual frente a acciones impulsadas por patrones inconscientes, como en los casos de sonambulismo o ludopatía, ofreciendo una guía práctica para el rediseño de hábitos a través de la identificación de señales y recompensas.

In this first installment of the Habits series, April debunks the myth that motivation is the key to achieving your goals. Whether you're launching a business, writing a book, or committing to your health, the secret isn't motivation—it's habits. April dives into how to build better habits that stick, eliminate the ones that derail your progress, and use simple tools to drive long-term success. Key Takeaways: Identify your current habits—good and bad—and evaluate the true payoff of each. Learn why Keystone Habits like making your bed set the tone for the day. Decrease the friction around good habits and increase it around bad ones. Use easy, powerful tools like phone alarms and reward systems to stay consistent. Understand how "temptation bundling" can make positive habits more enjoyable. Action Items: Reflect on a time when you had a great habit that worked. What made it effective? Name your bad habits and recognize the hidden reward behind them. Start creating Keystone Habits with small wins every morning. Label phone alarms with inspiring phrases that cue your new behaviors. Set up a reward system so your brain wants to keep showing up. Featured Quotes: “You don't need more motivation. You need better systems and consistent habits.” “If we can identify it, we can rewire it.” Recommended Reading: Atomic Habits by James Clear — Buy here The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg — Buy here Stay Tuned: Don't miss Part 2, where we build on this foundation and dig deeper into how to automate success and master long-term behavior change. --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders?

Leave A Rating: https://ratethispodcast.com/successstory In this “Lessons” episode, Charles Duhigg, bestselling author of The Power of Habit, breaks down the psychology behind persuasive conversations, revealing how every discussion falls into one of three types: practical, emotional, or social, and why recognizing the difference is key to being understood. Learn how asking deep questions uncovers someone's mindset and turns monologues into real dialogue, how neural entrainment builds trust even during disagreements, and how acknowledging someone's identity can be more powerful than logic or empathy, so you can stop talking at people and start connecting with them.➡️ Show Linkshttps://successstorypodcast.com YouTube: https://youtu.be/9TwoujMbTHs Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/charles-duhigg-pulitzer-prize-winning-journalist-author/id1484783544 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1fLPbkHlX3LV9ngpbMMGfr ➡️ Watch the Podcast on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Communication is about a lot more than the words coming out of our mouths. We often hear each other, but don't really listen. Or we understand the literal meaning of what someone is saying, but we seem to miss the point and fail to connect. What's happening in our brains in those situations? And why is it sometimes so hard to do something we've been doing since we were children? New Yorker writer Charles Duhigg set out to find the answers to these questions in his latest book, “Supercommunicators: The Science of Conversation and Connection.” In this talk at the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival, Duhigg explains that there aren't any secret talents required in becoming a supercommunicator. All you have to do is understand a few concepts and learn and practice a few basic skills. He breaks down what's going on when two people are talking to each other and demonstrates the methods he's researched with some audience participation exercises. aspenideas.org

What if the key to a deeper, more connected marriage wasn't just about communicating more, but communicating in the right way? In this episode I sit down with Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and bestselling author Charles Duhigg, whose newest book Supercommunicators breaks open the science of how real connection happens. We explore how couples often end up having two totally different types of conversations — practical, emotional, or social — without even realizing it, and how that mismatch can quietly erode understanding and intimacy. Charles also shares how vulnerability and mirroring build emotional closeness, but how quickly that connection can be disrupted by subtle patterns of judgment or control. These hidden dynamics don't always show up as shouting or criticism. Sometimes they sneak in through trying to fix, correct, or redefine how your partner sees themselves. Whether you're navigating everyday stress or deeper conflict, this episode reveals how to shift from disconnect to understanding, and how to communicate in ways that sync both your brains and your hearts.   Relationship Resources ⬇️ Start the 30-Day Prioritizing Us Couples Challenge to grow your connection, improve communication, and feel like a team again, especially for those that are parents.

Today's episode is one you're really going to want to lean into because Michael is talking all about radical listening with Robert V. Biswas-Diener. If you've ever felt like traditional ‘active listening' just doesn't cut it, this conversation is going to open your ears and your mind in a whole new way. They chat about key ideas from Robert and his coauthor Christian Van Nieuwerburgh's book, Radical Listening: The Art of True Connection, such as why traditional active listening often falls short and what it means to really show up for someone through listening with intention, how to adapt your listening style depending on the situation, how culture can shape communication, and why staying curious might be one of the most powerful tools in your toolbox. This conversation is for anyone who wants to have deeper, more meaningful conversations with friends, coworkers, or anyone you care about! Listen and Learn: Why does radical listening go beyond traditional active listening, and how does focusing on intention transform the way we pay attention in conversations? How does your listening intention, whether to validate, learn, or fix, shape what specific cues and details you focus on during a conversation? How can well-intentioned behaviors like comparing, competing, or offering advice become obstacles to effective listening and connection? The importance of aligning your listening intention with the speaker's intention to create a true connection in a conversation How you can use internal and external skills, like calming your mind or staying present, to become a better listener Noticing different types of silence to help you understand what's really happening in a conversation Understanding cultural differences, and letting go of the “awkward pause” to help you listen more openly How you can accept someone's perspective without agreeing with it, and still create a more respectful and open conversation Why the way you ask questions matters, and why you want to ask ones that help the other person open up, not just satisfy your own curiosity How can interjecting, when done thoughtfully, show deep engagement in a conversation without being rude?

This week, Charles Duhigg, Pulitzer prize-winning reporter and author of Supercommunicators; How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection talks about why some people are just better at conversation and communication than others. Duhigg says conversations typically fall into three buckets; practical, emotional and social. Super communicators, Duhigg says, have the ability to listen for what kind of conversation is happening and are able to “match back.” The science behind this, as Duhigg explains it, is called  "neural entrainment" which turns out to be a key to bonding and cooperating with each other.

Why is it that we can tell someone “I'm totally fine!” and they instantly know we're not? Gestures, facial expressions, tone of voice, and other subtle nonverbal cues play a huge role in how we connect with one another.  In this episode, host Charles Duhigg explores how we communicate without words, including a deep dive into the visual and tonal cues embedded in one of the biggest sitcoms of all time, The Big Bang Theory.  He talks with Dr. Dustin York, a professor at Maryville University who studies nonverbal communication and worked in public relations for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign. He also sits down with Dave Goetsch, a co-executive producer and longtime writer for The Big Bang Theory, and journalist Jessica Radloff, who wrote an exhaustive book about the show.  This Slate miniseries dives into the art and science of meaningful conversations, inspired by Duhigg's bestselling book, Supercommunicators.  Supercommunicators was produced by Sophie Summergrad and Derek John, who also did the sound design. Our technical director is Merritt Jacob and our supervising producer is Joel Meyer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
