In this episode, I have a conversation with Dr. Alex Korb, a neuroscientist, coach, and bestselling author of The Upward Spiral: Using Neuroscience to Reverse the Course of Depression, One Small Change at a Time. You are going to be SOOOO blown away by our conversation about behavior change. We break down why we so often end up doing things we don't want to do and why our brain mostly cares about what benefits us in the moment. He debunks why addiction is not about pleasure, how being overly optimistic actually leads us to have negative bias, and the most effective ways to set up goals (*hint* it's through small, but powerful, changes and actions). You don't want to miss out on this! Dr. Alex Korb has PhD in neuroscience from UCLA, and currently teaches there in the Department of Psychiatry. Outside of the lab he is a personal coach who helps smart, successful, and passionate professionals get unstuck and unlock their brain's peak performance. Dr. Korb is also head coach of the UCLA Women's Ultimate Frisbee team, and has a wealth of experience in yoga and mindfulness, physical fitness, and even stand‑up comedy.
