Everyone, we assume, wants to be their best person. Few of us, perhaps, none, hits all their marks in this pursuit even if the way toward the goal is generally apparent. If you want to know how to do a better job hitting those marks, whether its walking 10,000 steps, learning Esperanto, or quitting smoking, a good person to consult would be Katy Milkman. Working at the nexus of economics and psychology, Milkman – the James G. Dinan Professor at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and co-founder of the Behavior Change for Good Initiative at Penn – studies the almost alchemical process of turning good intentions into solid actions. In this Social Science Bites podcast, she details for interviewer David Edmonds some of the biases and some of the critical thinking processes that both define and then overcome the obstacles to changing our behavior. These range from concepts with such academic names as present bias and temptation bundling to the more colloquial ‘what the hell effect' and its antidote, the emergency reserve. But the point of her research – especially as it gets translated to the public through her podcast Choiceology or her 2021 book How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be – is to find practical ways to change yourself. For example, she explains that “it's important for goals to be measurable and achievable, although they should be a stretch. You know, if your goal is ‘exercise more,' how can you measure that? How could you even set a commitment device, for instance? … It's also important to have a plan of, sort of, when will I do it, where will I do it, how will I get there. These are called “implementation intentions.” I think the most important part of them is they associate a cue with the action. So just like an actor needs a cue to know when to say their lines, we need to not forget to take action on our goals.” Her influence in turn is felt practically. Choiceology, for example, is sponsored by the brokerage house Charles Schwab, and Milkman has been a consultant for organizations ranging from the U.S. government and Walmart to 24 Hour Fitness and the American Red Cross. She is a former president of the Society for Judgment and Decision Making and a fellow of the Association for Psychological Science.

Buymedia, a rising tech company based in the west of Ireland, has awarded €75,000 to three local charities as part of its 2023 Advertise for Good initiative. The funds were equally distributed among Cope Galway, Hand in Hand, and LauraLynn, all selected through a public vote last autumn from a shortlist of nominated organisations. Since launching the Advertise for Good initiative in 2021, Buymedia has significantly supported charitable efforts, including a €21,000 donation to UNICEF Ireland during the program's first year. This year's contribution marks another major milestone in the company's ongoing commitment to giving back. Fergal O'Connor, CEO of Buymedia, expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative's impact, "We are thrilled to support these outstanding organisations and the vital services they provide to their communities. Our contribution will help these charities continue their essential work for those in need. At Buymedia, we are committed to driving positive change and empowering businesses to make a difference." Caroline O'Connor, Fundraising & Communications Manager for Hand in Hand, shared her gratitude, "We are incredibly grateful to have been selected by Buymedia. As a small charity supporting families facing childhood cancer in Ireland, this recognition highlights the crucial role Hand in Hand plays. This donation will help raise both awareness and much-needed funding for our free services, which provide vital practical and emotional support to families." Sarah Meagher, Head of Fundraising at LauraLynn, Ireland's Children's Hospice, echoed this sentiment, "A huge thank you to the Buymedia team for their wonderful support. The funds raised will have a lasting positive impact on children with life-limiting conditions and their families who rely on LauraLynn's care and services across Ireland." Deirdre Walsh, Corporate Engagement Executive at Cope Galway, added: "This generous donation will help Cope Galway continue empowering people, creating change, and strengthening the Galway community through our Homeless, Senior Support, and Domestic Abuse Services." Buymedia's Advertise for Good initiative demonstrates how even a smaller company can make a meaningful impact. Since its founding in 2015, Buymedia has proven that the power to drive positive change is not limited to large corporations - every business has the potential to make a difference. Nominations for the 2024 Advertise for Good initiative are now open until September 30th. The public is invited to nominate and vote for their preferred charities by visiting www.buymediahq.com. The top three nominated charities will be selected to benefit from next year's program.

One of the most important books written in the last few years is Dr. Katy Milkman's 2021 book How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be, which focuses on the study of behavior change. This is a groundbreaking book in which Dr. Milkman reveals a proven path that can take you from where you are right now to where you want to be and teaches us that change happens most readily when you understand what's standing between you and success and tailor your solution to that specific roadblock. Dr. Milkman is a behavioral scientist and professor at The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and this book draws on her original research and the work of her world-renowned scientific collaborators. (The foreword to the book, by the way, was written by another of my favorites, psychologist Dr. Angela Duckworth, author of the fantastic book Grit.) How to Change shares strategic methods for identifying and overcoming common barriers to change, like impulsivity, procrastination, and forgetfulness, and gives us practical tips and tactics backed by science to help us achieve our goals, once and for all. Dr. Milkman has worked with numerous organizations on how to achieve positive change, including Google, the U.S. Department of Defense, Walmart, the White House, and the American Red Cross. Her research is regularly featured by media outlets like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and NPR, and she currently co-directs the Behavior Change for Good Initiative at Penn as well as hosts the podcast Choiceology, a popular Charles Schwab show about behavioral economics. Speaking of The New York Times, How to Change was not only a bestseller but also named one of the eight best books for healthy living in 2021 by that outlet. Dr. Milkman is a Princeton and Harvard graduate and, as you'll hear us talk about, wrote a book that truly changed my life, personally. I can't wait for you to hear what she has to say.

Learn How You Can Develop ‘Grit' and Why You Need It to Achieve Your Goals! Scarlett's guest for this episode is Angela Duckworth, author of Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance. Angela describes grit as having what some researchers call an”ultimate concern”– a goal you care about so much that it gives meaning to almost everything you do. Grit is holding steadfast to that goal even when you fall down and when progress toward that goal is halting or slow. Scarlett and Angela discuss growing hope because a growth mindset leads to optimistic self-talk that then leads to perseverance over adversity. Scarlett and Angela infuse the Choose Love Formula into the extensive research Angela has dedicated herself to on grit and personal success. This includes having the courage to find what you enjoy, thinking of something you are grateful for to stay positive and strengthen what you want to master, finding a deeper purpose greater than yourself, and having compassion in action which is doing something, not just feeling it. Hope is when we let our pain go and that is strengthened by practicing forgiveness. All of the Choose Love formula values (courage+gratitude+forgiveness+compassion-in-action) lead to the grittiness required to achieve your goals. Angela Duckworth is an academic and psychologist focusing on achievement, researcher and author of Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance. She is co-founder of Character Lab, a nonprofit whose mission is to advance scientific insights that help children thrive. She is also the Rosa Lee and Egbert Chang Professor at the University of Pennsylvania and faculty co-director of the Penn-Wharton Behavior Change for Good Initiative.

But actually sticking to those good habits isn't always easy — one failure can have us losing the motivation to continue. For our show, we spoke with Cholpon Ramizova and Derick Gnonlonfoun, a couple who set out to create better food habits by cooking at home more and incorporating more vegetables into their meals. As they started to develop this new habit, the two realized that a mindful and kind attitude towards themselves was a key element to their success. Later, we hear from psychologists Katy Milkman and Kristin Neff, to learn about how failure can actually be beneficial when pursuing a goal, and how to cope with it.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: HearMeOut - Networking While Funding Charities (Looking for a founder and beta users), published by Brad West on November 15, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Two extremely important things are our time and our connections to others who can help advance shared goals. Significant time is wasted on low value introductions and meetings. But at the same time, projects are delayed, don't succeed, or don't reach their full potential because critical connections are never made. We are looking to build HearMeOut, a solution that will save your valuable time while facilitating valuable connections, by asking people to donate to a charity for your time, and/or enabling you to connect with others by donating to a charity. HearMeOut is the platform where you can book time with someone by donating to the chosen charity of the person who you want to meet with. For example: you sell software that you're confident company X wants, and you're willing to donate 500 to The Against Malaria Foundation to pitch it to them for one hour. If you want to cut down on cold emails and meetings, you can tell anyone that you only meet with people willing to donate a certain amount to the charity you chose (e.g. I'm a founder and anyone who wants to sell me something can do that if they donate 100 USD to AMF). You pay for meetings where you're confident you bring something valuable, and you can be assured the meetings scheduled with you are with people who value your time correctly and don't intend to waste your time. We believe the net result to be meetings with a higher average value- eliminating intros with those who don't value your time, while enabling those who demonstrate that they do to get on your calendar- with charities benefiting from the signals. It's close to zero cost to build and test this platform with some initial users, and it could be very scalable. We are seeking someone to lead this project and initial users who want to get donations before they take a cold meeting. What HearMeOut Offers Ability for people ("Seekers") to obtain introductions to people that could be helpful to their projects or goals by donating to a charity. Ability for people ("Listeners") to help others that can credibly signal that they will benefit from their help because they are gated behind a cost. Charities can be the beneficiaries of these signaling costs. Unfortunately, between working my own full time job as a lawyer and running a nonprofit (website will be changed soon- renaming to "Profit for Good Initiative"), I do not currently have the bandwidth to run such a project. Vincent van der Holst, founder of BOAS, also believes in the potential of this project, but is similarly unable to run this project because he is running the business. Both can advise the business and help attract resources. Vin already has connections to a designer and developer who are willing to help build the first version at no/low cost. How Would HearMeOut Work? Thanks to Jeff Reasor for developing some mockups of what HearMeOut might look like. HearMeOut would provide a platform for Listeners: those who want to spend their time potentially helping others by providing advice, funding projects, connecting people together who could be helpful, using their influence to advance a shared goal, purchasing products or services that could be beneficial to the Listener, and/or otherwise helping people. Listeners would be able to choose the charity(s) that would benefit from the fee to connect with them, the time increments they could make available, as well as the donation associated with various increments. This donation cost would serve a dual-function: it not only serves as a way to raise money for a charitable cause the listener cares about, but also serves a screening function- the cost associated with the audience will lik...

On this episode of Rubberneckers, Jodie, and John are joined by guest Rob, a renowned podcast host and the mastermind behind Random Ramblings with Rob. He also co-hosts the RBR wrestling weekly show, which discusses weekly wrestling events. They start by analyzing how media affects behavior and the lack of positive examples of characters practicing safe sex. They also share their views on how people today prioritize likes and views over human decency. They then move on to discuss the benefits of joining the military and the sacrifices required. Along the way, they also engage in some humorous hypothetical scenarios, such as how many teenagers they could fight off and how they would respond if they were called derogatory names. Finally, they wrap up the episode with a candid conversation about the dangers of drunk driving and how recruiters for the military target vulnerable individuals. Jodie B and Rob go way back, and he inspires Jody B through his seven-year-long experience in podcasting. Rob is also fondly remembered as the person who gave Jody B the nickname, that Motherfucker. Jody B started leaving random messages on Rob's voicemail before he joined the podcasting world, and now Rob holds a special place in Jodie's heart.

Every day we use and interact with devices that use artificial intelligence (AI). Help your students understand and get excited about the power of AI technology with the Microsoft Imagine Cup Junior competition. The Microsoft Imagine Cup Junior (ICJ) is a global student competition for students ages 13-18. Through ICJ, educators utilize lessons to teach their students about AI technologies, students form teams, and apply these lessons to dream up a concept or idea to make a difference in their local community or world around them. In this week's episode, we had the opportunity to chat about ICJ with Microsoft's Jeff Johnson. Jeff Johnson is Senior Business Manager for the Skills & Employability team in the Worldwide Public Sector Education group at Microsoft. In his role, Jeff leads the company skills strategy with K-12 and higher education institutions, government workforce agencies, educators, and partners around the world surrounding adoption and engagement with technical skills solutions for students including learning pathways and Microsoft's industry recognized certification portfolio. Jeff is instrumental in helping Microsoft form broad education alliances with schools, higher education institutions, and governments globally to assist learners in gaining future-ready skills and technical credentials for the digital economy. We talked with Jeff about the importance of AI skills, and how educators can introduce students to the world of AI through the Microsoft Imagine Cup Junior competition. Jeff gave us all the details about ICJ, how students can compete, how educators can support them, and how to keep the AI momentum going after the competition has finished. Jeff mentioned several resources during this episode.

We make them. We break them. We vow to restart. At least after one more cookie… They're our new year's resolutions. For some, they are an inspiration to live a better, more intentional life. For others, they are a list of broken promises. Why do we annually go through this exercise? And what does science tell us about how we can change our habits? We'll talk all things resolutions, and hear from you: What are your 2023 resolutions and how do you plan to stick to them?

Every now and then you have a guest that like Prince, or Cher, that simply needs one name to know who they are. Today, I am happy to welcome Shlomo, more formally known as Dr. Shlomo Benartzi, Professor Emeritus, UCLA Anderson, Founder and CEO, PensionPlus. We dive into the compelling and complex topic of the good, the bad and the ugly of auto everything in retirement plans. As implied, auto features are powerful, but may or may not be the best solutions to everything. Love to hear what you agree or disagree with, please share and leave your comments on LinkedIn. I learned a lot, hope you do as well! Guest Bio Shlomo Benartzi is a behavioral economist interested in combining the insights of psychology and economics to solve big societal problems. He works on creating digital nudges that leverage technology to achieve massive scale and help millions make better financial decisions. He received a Ph.D. from Cornell University's Johnson Graduate School of Management and is currently a professor emeritus and co-founder of the Behavioral Decision-Making Group at UCLA Anderson School of Management. He is also a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Wharton Behavior Change for Good Initiative. Benartzi's work has demonstrated the potential for far-reaching improvement. Along with Nobel Laureate Richard Thaler of the University of Chicago, he pioneered the Save More Tomorrow™ (SMarT) program, a behavioral prescription designed to nudge employees to increase their savings rates gradually over time. In their original research, Benartzi and Thaler found that SMarT increased employee savings rates from 3.5 percent to 13.6 percent. The SMarT program is now offered by more than half of the large retirement plans in the U.S. and a growing number of plans in Australia and the U.K. The program has also been incorporated into the Pension Protection Act of 2006, enabling approximately 15 million Americans to boost their retirement savings. To help bridge the gap between academic research and the real world, Benartzi has worked with many financial institutions and served on multiple advisory boards. He is currently a senior academic advisor for the Voya Behavioral Finance Institute for Innovation, Acorns, Blast, Lili, Personal Capital and Wisdom Tree. 401(k) Fridays Podcast Overview Struggling with a fiduciary issue, looking for strategies to improve employee retirement outcomes or curious about the impact of current events on your retirement plan?

Read Nudge and you are inspired by how behavioral science works. But how can we translate and scale behavioral science effectively into policies and organizations? Indeed, can all academic research be applied “in the wild”? Our two guests on this episode, Nina Mazar PhD and Dilip Soman PhD have co-edited a book “Behavioral Science in the Wild” that addresses exactly this. If you're a practitioner, wanting to apply behavioral science in corporate, non-profit, or governmental work, we think you should check this book out. It's full of excellent ideas for how to apply behavioral science in the wild! Nina Mazar is a professor of marketing and co-director of the Susilo Institute for Ethics in the Global Economy at the Boston University Questrom School of Business. Her work focuses on topics ranging from ethics to social & environmental impact. She sits on the board of Irrational Labs and belongs to the team of scientists of the Behavior Change for Good Initiative at Wharton. Dilip Soman is a Canada Research Chair in Behavioural Science and Economics. His research is in the area of behavioral science and its applications to consumer wellbeing, marketing and policy. Together Nina and Dilip established the Director of the Behavioural Economics in Action Research Centre at Rotman [BEAR], on which Dilip still serves as director. Our discussion with Nina and Dilip explores the journey of working on their book together and why it's vital reading for all behavioral scientists. To summarize the discussion, as always, Tim and Kurt end the show with a Grooving Session to recap what we learn about behavioral science in the wild! Topics (5:04) Welcome to Dilip and Nina with speed round questions. (10:01) Why do we need a book about applying behavioral science research “in the wild”. (14:29) Why not all academic research is destined for the practitioner world? (18:04) Social norms matter but the right reference group is vital. (21:35) Background variables influence behavioral science in the wild. (29:27) Speed of testing can be a barrier. (31:33) Overcoming the issue of scalability. (35:24) How your time frame can affect output. (38:55) What to do when you don't get the results you expect. (44:07) Don't get caught shopping in the nudge store. (45:50) Music choices of Dilip and Nina.

Summary:The last few years will have forced or encouraged us to make changes in our lives. In a positive light, some people have spent better quality time with family and friends, enjoyed the company of their neighbours, exercised more regularly and taken up hobbies again. But when the pressure's on, and there's no systemic "shock" to deal with, it's natural that we slip back to some of our old ways. To overcome this, Katy Milkman says we should understand our internal obstacles — or “opponents” — and then select the right strategies to overcome them. She picks seven obstacles we face - getting started, impulsivity, procrastination, forgetting, laziness, lack of confidence, and conformity. Whatever situation you're in, she encourages us to do things that are enjoyable, otherwise we're not going to persist in changing our ways.More about Katy:Katy Milkman is the James G. Dinan Professor at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and holds a secondary appointment at Penn's Perelman School of Medicine. Her research explores ways that insights from economics and psychology can be harnessed to change consequential behaviors for good, such as savings, exercise, student achievement, vaccination and discrimination. To that end, she co-founded and co-directs the Behavior Change for Good Initiative at the University of Pennsylvania. In 2021 Katy was named one of the world's top 50 management thinkers and the world's top strategy thinker by Thinkers50. The New York Times also named her bestselling book How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be one of the eight best books for healthyliving in 2021.

This week's conversation is with Angela Duckworth, the founder and CEO of Character Lab, a nonprofit whose mission is to advance scientific insights that help children thrive. She is also the Rosa Lee and Egbert Chang Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, faculty co-director of the Penn-Wharton Behavior Change for Good Initiative, and faculty co-director of Wharton People Analytics.A 2013 MacArthur Fellow, Angela has advised the World Bank, NBA and NFL teams, and Fortune 500 CEOs.Angela completed her undergraduate degree in Advanced Studies Neurobiology at Harvard, graduating magna cum laude. With the support of a Marshall Scholarship, she completed an MSc with Distinction in Neuroscience from Oxford University. She completed her PhD in Psychology as a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania.We all know Angela from her book, “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance,” the #1 New York Times best seller, which was the impetus for our first Finding Mastery conversation back in 2016… that's Episode 029 if you're looking for it.I wanted to have Angela back on to discuss her new research on character, and how character development can be actioned to benefit others (and oneself). As Angela says, the term “character” is used far too vaguely most of the time. She shares the 3 dimensions of character – and – ways to train them.She is incredibly grounded in the scientific evidence on how character strengths like self-control, curiosity, and gratitude are critically important to social and emotional well-being, physical health, and achievement.Angela is amazing. Her work is a gift to us all. This conversation, and our friendship for that matter, is a breath of fresh air - life-giving and life-lifting.----Please support our partners!We're able to keep growing and creating content for YOU because of their support.

Welcome to Episode 195 of Building My Legacy.IBM Master Inventor Neil Sahota has been called “Game Changer” because of his “think different” approach. In this podcast Neil shares with us the three ways to think disruptively out of the box: repurpose something, cultivate a different perspective and challenge assumptions. In addition, as Neil explains, to get real value, you have to “put the pieces together, and that's why you have to create a collaborative environment.” Neil cofounded the United Nations AI for Good Initiative and today, as an AI advisor, he continues to help the UN build out its ecosystem of strategic partnerships — a real challenge with an organization of 47 agencies that historically have not worked together.

Katy shares her very practical advice about how to craft a way to get things done that is tailored to your own particular stumbling blocks whether it is failure to launch, impulsivity, procrastination, forgetfulness, laziness, lack of self-confidence, or a desire to conform to expectations. Katy describes some of her book’s evidence-based strategies for overcoming these obstacles to change -- strategies such as temptation-bundling, commitment devices, and cues -- and when and how to use them to increase your chances of successfully implementing change in your life. Here then, is an invitation, a challenge, for you, once you’ve listened to the conversation. Think of something you’d like to change but haven’t yet and come up with a temporal link to your actually doing so by defining your starting time as a fresh start or reset in the creation of a new definition of who you are.

Today I am very excited to have Dr. Katy Milkman joining me on the show. She has done so much amazing work over the years, some of which you have heard me share in episodes already, including the fresh start effect and temptation bundling, which as mentioned in last week’s episode with Jon Levy, is the most downloaded episode of the year to date. I love her research and the insights she has been able to share with the world so far. As you’ll hear in today’s episode, Katy is an amazingly smart person who has a knack for finding links others may not have seen yet. She leads amazing teams of students at Wharton and works with Angela Duckworth on the Behavior Change for Good Initiative, she is also the host of the Choiceology podcast, and her brand new book, How To Change, just came out this week. Show Notes: [00:07] In today’s episode I’m very excited to introduce you to Dr. Katy Milkman, author of the new book How To Change. [01:18] She leads amazing teams of students at Wharton and works with Angela Duckworth on the Behavior Change for Good Initiative. She is also the host of the Choiceology podcast, and her brand new book, How To Change, just came out this week. [03:34] Katy shares about her background and who she is. [05:35] Melina and Katy discuss the foreword of Katy’s new book written by Angela Duckworth (you won’t believe what she said!). [07:53] Katy shares about her fresh start research and how it all started. [09:11] There are moments throughout our lives that feel like new beginnings. New Years’ feels like a new beginning, but you can also have other new beginnings. [10:34] Their research on fresh starts and the power of those moments to change our motivation and therefore our ability to make an impact for the better on our lives is the biggest ah-ha for Katy from her research. [12:44] The fresh start research took about two years from the first conversation to the publication. It was quick because the findings weren’t subtle. (Katy and Melina discuss the differing timelines in academia and business.) [14:33] They had some results and it was clear what they had learned within a few months, but the insights and documenting of the results usually takes the longest. [15:45] Katy shares another favorite research project she was part of about making people grittier. [17:38] Instead of giving poorly performing students advice, they flipped the script and put them in the position to be the advice-givers to underclassmen. [19:01] When people are asked for advice, it improves their motivation to achieve in that domain. [20:56] There is this huge power in recognizing that when you coach others you are helping yourself. [23:21] Too often we don’t take the time to figure out what is the actual barrier to change. [24:10] It is important to make sure you are not solving the wrong problem before you deploy your solution. [25:53] 9% of premature deaths in the world are due to inadequate physical activity. If we can figure these behavior change problems, we can really save lives. [26:48] 40% of premature deaths due to decisions that could be changed. This is a really big opportunity for impact, but it all starts with recognizing one of the challenges any individual is having. [28:41] If I have this problem. I know a lot of people struggle with this as well. I am going to figure out the why for all of us and how we might change it and make it better. It can help you change everything by looking at it in a positive way. [30:26] Katy shares one of the most frustrating findings of her career. A ton of things did work, but it didn’t create lifelong change. [33:23] It is important to have a reasonable goal with behavior change. [34:52] If you want to create durable change, it has to be a durable commitment and durable solutions instead of something temporary. [36:42] It can be really disruptive to have a fresh start if things are going really well. It is really hard to hold on and keep making progress. [38:46] If we want to change we have to remain vigilant. [39:27] Katy and Melina share their love for Harry Potter. [42:30] Check out the Harry Potter audiobooks. They are SO amazing! [44:09] Mindset has a huge impact on what we can achieve. [47:05] Melina shares her closing thoughts. [48:31] Melina’s first book, What Your Customer Wants and Can’t Tell You is officially on presale and available on Amazon, Bookshop, Barnes & Noble, Book Depository, and Booktopia.

We all know people who don't enroll in the 401k program at work despite understanding the power of investing or those who won't stop smoking even though there's a history of lung cancer in their family. But while incredibly frustrating to the outside observer, we are all resistant to change in some aspect of our lives. Understanding where and why we resist change is important because modifying the behavior of those we lead is often central to our mission. And what do we do when information and rational persuasion don't work? Today we have the pleasure of talking to a world renowned behavioral scientist, Dr. Katy Milkman about what makes change so hard, strategies to tackle these barriers and how to harness the power of a fresh start. Dr. Milkman is the James G. Dinan Professor at the Wharton School, author of How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be, co-founder and co-director of the Behavior Change for Good Initiative, and host of the Choiceology podcast from Charles Schwab. We discuss: Why information and logic alone doesn't change behavior “Fresh starts” and the science of timing Planning for disruption and the power of expectations What's the “price for the vice”? Barriers to change and how to overcome them Connect with Dr. Milkman: Via her website: www.katymilkman.com/book Via her podcast: Choiceology Via Twitter: @katy_milkman We're starting to travel again for our Apprenticeships (if you haven't joined us for one yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!) and it's been difficult to make sure we're managing both nutrition and exercise on the road.
