We can change them, but it is very complicated and difficult.

And ultimately, the access point to changing those adaptations is our behavior, getting ourselves to do the thing that we don't necessarily want to do or we don't know how to do consistently.

And that is so much of what we struggle with

in terms of changing ourselves like there's so many of us who we know exactly what we want to change and then we just try to get up and do it and it doesn't happen so in the next chapter we're going to dive into all the ins and outs of behavioral change how does it actually happen how do you make it consistent how can you give yourself the highest likelihood of success and what's interesting is that most of our intuitive assumptions about behavior change

are not accurate because understanding yourself and changing yourself are actually two completely different skills.

They're two different problems.

And pretty much everything in the personal development industry, the self-help industry is selling you solutions to the first problem, promising that it's going to solve the second one.

But the next chapter, we're going to solve the second problem.

And the answer is so simple that it's probably going to strike people as insulting.
