My new book is officially in stores today! I'm looking forward to hearing how readers start using it to break out of their anxiety (and other) habit loops and build better habits of curiosity and kindness.

We’ve been sold a version of happiness that’s optimized for clicks, not well-being. In my latest substack, I trace how our understanding of happiness has drifted from eudaimonia to dopamine-driven quick fixes—and how we can find a path from distraction to deeper purpose.

#Cravings, #MindlessEating and #BingeEating are all just habits that can be unlearned, according to Assoc. Prof. @judbrewer. “Our feeling body is much stronger than our thinking brain," he stresses. "So reconnect with the body.”

@davefobare @cremieuxrecueil Folks who did this research would do a a better job weighing in than I , as this isn't my field. Speaking with some of them, it appears one of the issues was in design (eg interventions were designed without input from students). Example of criticality of user centered design!
