G is for Go

Feel like you're stuck in a loop of harmful habits? The human condition is inherently lazy, and we can find ourselves caught in cycles that often hinder us. So, it's essential to recognise that one of the major obstacles preventing us from becoming happier versions of ourselves is our tendency towards these bad habits. In this episode, Paul dissects why we stick to these bad habits, often sabotaging our quest for happiness. It's time to take the first step towards breaking free of harmful habit loops using effective behavioural science strategies. Paul's ambition in creating GET HAPPIER goes well beyond simply offering a free copy and ending it there. He intends to foster a community of individuals who can make society happier using rigorous and relevant evidence with minimal effort. Subscribe to Paul's Substack, where he'll share resources and insights so that – as individuals and citizens, employees and employers, parents and policy-makers – we can all GET HAPPIER.
