How can we commit to making a lasting change – big or small? My guest this week is Katy Milkman: and behavioral economics researcher, former president of the Society for Judgment and Decision Making, and James G. Dinan Professor at the Wharton School. In this special episode, Katy coaches me through two changes I’m struggling to make using suggestions and research-backed strategies from her book, How to Change. Discover the problems that get in the way of your ability to change, the status quo bias, and why giving money to charities you hate is an effective commitment device.
