• Improving our lives is difficult primarily because we lack the knowledge of how to do so and the right tools. But it’s also intrinsically difficult because of our brain’s natural weaknesses and flaws.

• We can use scientifically proven general strategies for helping us achieve our goals, given our brain’s drawbacks.

• One issue is that we cannot force our way out of acquired habit by willpower alone, and we cannot use neural connections that simply aren’t there. But we can build connections with every repetition until it becomes automatic. Behaviors consist of triggers, routines and rewards. We can work with this habit loop and re-engineer the habits we already have, so the desired behavior becomes easy and automatic – with time! Consistency is key.
