The Science of Making & Breaking Habits by Andrew Huberman, talks about the biology of habit formation and how to break bad habits.
Huberman is a Professor of Neurobiology and Ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.
He discusses how habits organize our behavior into reflexive actions and how they can either serve us well or undermine our health goals. He emphasizes that there is a whole neuroscience of habit formation and breaking, and that there are some real gems within the scientific literature that have not been paid too much attention to in the popular sphere.
The programs he outlines are grounded in the neuroscience and biology of habit formation and map well to what the psychologists have described in terms of habit formation and breaking.
The video provides practical tools and is part of Huberman’s effort to bring zero-cost to consumer information about science and science-related tools to the general public.
