About this episode

Transform your habits and reclaim control over your life! In this Friday Field Notes episode, Ryan Michler offers a powerful roadmap to identify and overhaul negative behaviors by drawing on the wisdom of "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg and "Atomic Habits" by James Clear. He dissects the three-step formula for understanding habits, focusing on cues, behaviors, and rewards.
