Habit Building & Behaviour Change

Most people try to change behaviour with willpower and a burst of motivation, then quit within a few weeks when both run out. This course replaces that with the actual science: how the basal ganglia automates behaviour through a cue-routine-reward loop, why implementation intentions roughly double follow-through in controlled studies, and how to use habit stacking, environment design, and BJ Fogg's Tiny Habits method to make starting almost effortless. You finish able to design a specific small habit, anchor it to an existing routine, engineer your surroundings so the right behaviour is the easy one, break a stubborn habit by attacking its cue and reward, and recover from lapses without quitting, all captured in a personal change plan you build as you go.
