Episode notes

I don't feel like I can change the business model of Google or Facebook or Twitter and so on. But I know I can help people change their individual behavior. So that's how I see, yeah, we can help people create policies in their homes around phone use. We can help churches talk about how do you use social media appropriately. That sounds tremendously valuable.

BJ Fogg is a pioneering research psychologist and founder of the iconic Behavior Design Lab at Stanford which has taught everyone from the founders of Instagram to the leading technology ethicist Tristan Harris. In this episode Fogg speaks to Carl Miller about his new book Tiny Habits, how he cracked the code of habit formation and the potential dangers of unleashing behaviour design on the world.
