"The definition of habit is something that has worked in the past...in a fixed situation. Whereas real freedom means that you're in the moment."

Glenn Murphy joins health and wellness guru Howard Jacobson as they explore the benefits and pitfalls of habits and routines.

Here, we cover:

triggers, rewards, and habit loops
the futility of "fighting" habits
the connection between discipline and freedom
why all habits are - in some sense - bad
