Episode notes

We started studying, you know, what is this process itself? And fortunately, there was a vast literature to draw upon in terms of reward base learning. So we could actually tap into it by looking at the structure itself. We even used an apt base mindfulness training called a craving to quit,. where we basically train people to pay attention as they smoke.

In this episode, Dr. Jud Brewer, a neuroscientist and addiction psychiatrist, discusses bad habits and how to change them.

He is the author of The Craving Mind: From Cigarettes to Smartphones to Love -- Why We Get Hooked and how We Can Break Bad Habits -- and his TED Talk on how to change a bad habit has more than 12 million views.

But...we talk about so many other things in this episode. It's a free association smorgasbord of brain stuff that will rattle your head.
