In this episode of the Johnny Lawrence Podcast, Johnny Lawrence discusses the everyday struggle with New Year's resolutions and the myth of willpower as a strategy for change. He emphasises that willpower is a finite resource and often fails when we need it most.
Instead, he advocates for a focus on environmental design, identity alignment, and small, repeatable systems to foster sustainable change. The conversation also touches on the emotional aspects of change and the importance of understanding one's identity in the process of personal growth.
Johnny concludes with practical strategies for listeners to implement in their own lives, encouraging them to design their environments to support their desired behaviours.
