Breaking Old Behavioral Patterns
- Tony Robbins describes how patterns in behavior can be interrupted, similar to a childhood experience with an annoying uncle.
- Breaking a pattern repeatedly allows a new behavior to form consciously and effectively.
Leveraging Pain and Pleasure for Change
- People only change when they associate enough pain or pleasure with changing.
- Lasting change requires rewiring what you link pain and pleasure to in your nervous system, not just intellectually.

- Having a bad experience with a favorite food or drink can instantly rewire your nervous system.
- This neuro-associative conditioning shifts pleasure to pain, making it easy to avoid without willpower.
