Description
What if changing a habit is less about willpower, and more about learning to pay attention?
In this episode of TEDMED Now, we revisit psychiatrist and neuroscientist Judson Brewer’s TEDMED Talk to explore how habits take shape in the brain, why cravings can feel so automatic, and how curiosity can help interrupt the loop.
Through the science of reward-based learning and mindfulness, Brewer offers a different way to understand habit change: not as a fight against the brain, but as a chance to give it better information.
