James Clear on The Science of Building H...

DR. MICHAEL GERVAIS
About this episode

What if the key to achieving your biggest goals in 2025 and beyond isn’t about willpower—what if it's about building the right habits?

Today, we are super excited to re-release one of our favorite episodes from the Finding Mastery vault – one of our earlier conversations with James Clear.

Why this episode, and why now? … As we near the end of January, it’s a great time to check in on the intentions and goals, and resolutions many of us set for 2025. Resolutions are tricky. Research tells us that they usually don’t work. And here’s the opportunity: while resolutions don’t often hold, we do know the science of creating lasting habits. This conversation is about how to make habits stick—not just for January, but for life.

James Clear is one of the world’s leading experts on habit formation. He’s the bestselling author of Atomic Habits, a book that has transformed the way millions of people think about personal growth and sustainable change. In this conversation, James shares the science and psychology behind building small, meaningful habits that create significant results over time.

Whether you’re revisiting this conversation or hearing it for the first time, this is a timely opportunity to rethink how you approach your goals and create systems that set you up for success in 2025 and beyond.
