Short Summary

Here's a breakdown of the provided transcript:

  • Number One Action Item/Takeaway: When attempting to establish a new habit (or break an old one), view setbacks as learning opportunities rather than failures.

To successfully change habits, especially when willpower is taxed, it's crucial to anticipate challenging situations and develop specific alternative behaviors beforehand (implementation intentions). Viewing setbacks as experiments provides valuable data for refining your approach and improving long-term success.
