No one is harmed, no death, no trauma, just a few cells grown in a dish. This is David Eagleman from the Inner Cosmos podcast. And this week, we're tackling a tough question where brain science meets the future. Lab-grown meat is going to force us to confront the boundaries of our ethics. And what does this have to do with brain plasticity, social belonging, messed up boundaries between mental categories? What does this uncover about brain science and our calculations of morality? Listen to Inner Cosmos on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
You can't break a habit if you still see yourself as the person who does it. If you think I'm lazy, you can't break a habit that proves you're disciplined. If you think you're disorganized, you can't build a habit that proves you're focused. If you're not on top of everything, you can't prove to yourself you have a plan. So instead of saying, I'm trying to quit,
Say, I'm not someone who chooses that anymore.
I could never change my habits until I did this. What if I told you that 90% of your bad habits have nothing to do with discipline and everything to do with the systems you live inside? Most people blame themselves for their habits. I'm just lazy, I'm not consistent, I always mess this up. But here's the truth. You don't have bad habits because you're a bad person. You have bad habits because you have invisible patterns that no one ever taught you to see. And once you see them, you can break them fast. Let's be honest, if you want to have a great 2026, breaking bad habits and building good habits is core to your success. We are what we repeatedly do. This is the wisdom that's been passed down for generations.
yet we rarely focus on our most repeated thoughts, actions, beliefs, and values, and we think it's going to be some miraculous manifesting moment, some random thing that happens in our life that changes the trajectory of everything, when in reality, it's all about our habits. If you want 2026 to be the best year of your life, this episode is for you. If you want to break your bad habits in 2026, this episode is for you. And if you're someone who's done just setting goals and not meeting them, this episode is for you. Let's dive in. So why can't you break your bad habits? Let's get honest. If you could have broken the habit by now, you would have. The problem isn't effort. The problem is misdiagnosis.
Most people think a bad habit is a character flaw. But science shows a bad habit is usually an emotional escape. When we have a bad habit, we think it's because we're a bad person. We had bad parenting. We had a bad background. We had bad company. Now, even if you did have a lot of challenging things, the truth I want you to realize is a bad habit is more of a subconscious response. It's something that you can train. It's not something that you're stuck with. A bad habit can be a triggered loop. A bad habit can be a dopamine pattern you've repeated.
