Happy New Year, Groovers! This week, we're taking some time-off and sharing an oldie but a goodie - our conversation with Ayelet Fishbach. The start of a new year often brings fresh motivation...and then we burnout. But why? In this recast, we are joined by Dr. Ayelet Fishbach to explore why willpower-driven resolutions fail and how behavioral science offers a smarter way to set goals that last. Through an examination of her research, we unpack meta-motivation, the problem with "the middle" and how you can design your goals better so that they carry momentum through January and beyond. ©2025 Behavioral GroovesTopics[[[[[[[[©2025 Behavioral GroovesLinksAbout AyeletGet It Done: Surprising Lessons from the Science of MotivationMusic LinksBest of NPR Tiny Desk
