Send us Fan Mail Curiosity, Habit Loops & the Hidden Treasure of Your Local LibraryWhat if the reason you can't stop eating had nothing to do with willpower — and everything to do with your brain running on autopilot?This week I'm exploring just that – the autopilot trap. We are exploring behavior change research AND in the fabric of our communities: curiosity. If you work in wellness, coaching, project management, or leadership, this one's worth a listen.
