Exercise Scientist’s Masterclass On Motivation, Habits & Discipline - Dr Mike Israetel - #970

I wanted to talk about the science of willpower, habits, motivation, some of the buziest of topics at the moment. Why do you think this is such a popular area of discussion for people on the internet? You know, I'm really happy that it's a popular area of discussion on the internet. The internet has plenty of stuff on there that was kind of just junk. Most of my stuff, for example.

What am I really mostly about? Vanity? You know, that sucks. But um It's really awesome that so many people, at least by search volume, seem to be interested in motivation and habits and willpower, because that tells me that people are doing two things.

One, recognizing that they want success or to achieve some goals. And two, is recognizing that like their motivational structure is a potential limiting factor to that success. And so if you're like, okay, things in the outside world are important and I'm going to try to architect myself to be better at them, man, like it really is a great thing and really does set you up for a significant amount of more success than you would if you never ask the question of like, how do how do I get maximum motivated? You just kind of assumed that you uh were at at like whatever motivation level you have, that's just kind of what you're you're doing.
