The Process of Making Good Habits (Or Breaking Bad Ones) Can Be Genuinely Brutal—But It Doesn’t Have to Be

In this challenge, Stanford health psychologist and bestselling author Kelly McGonigal lays out a saner roadmap for behavior change—not through shame and self-flagellation but through mindfulness and curiosity. Along with meditation teacher Alexis Santos, she’ll help you get to the root of what is most important about the change you want to make. With your compass set to what matters most, building new habits and breaking old ones becomes something much deeper than a superficial self-improvement project.
