Habit or Ritual: What's Driving Your Day? 7 | 30

Welcome. This is Amy Sandler from Radical Candor. I'm the lead coach and podcast host at Radical Candor, and we have a very special guest, Michael Norton from Harvard Business School, joining us to talk about the ritual effect from habit to ritual, harness the surprising power. of everyday actions. Welcome, Mike.

Thanks so much, Amy. You are, in addition to being both Mike and Michael Norton, you're a professor of business administration at Harvard Business School. You've done research on the hazards of humble bragging, the rewards of matchmaking. You co-authored a book called Happy Money with Elizabeth Dunn. So there's actually so much else

that we could talk to you about, but today we wanted to focus on your newest book, which just came out April 9th, just yesterday, is that right? Yeah. So it's the ritual effect. That's what we're talking about. And so I thought since we're talking about the ritual effect, before we get into the what's and the whys and the hows, what if we start by doing a little ritual?
