Episode notes
Iceberg Model of Habits
- The iceberg model explains habits as events on the surface, patterns underneath, and deeper system structures and mental models below.
- Recognizing these layers helps us understand behavior beyond immediate reactions and see causes.
Danger of Surface-Level Focus
- Staying only at the surface of events leads to cluelessness and poor outcomes.
- Underlying currents of patterns and structures control what happens, often invisible at the event level.
Build In-the-Moment Awareness
- Develop awareness (metacognition) to recognize deeper patterns and structures at play in your habits.
- Practice pausing in the moment to ask why you are doing what you are doing to break reactive cycles.
