If you’ve ever devoted yourself to adding a beneficial new habit to your daily life, you’ve likely run into a universal truth: true personal change is really difficult.
The truth is that permanently changing your behavior ISN’T just about applied willpower alone.
In fact, it shouldn’t be a solitary pursuit at all. You need consistent intentions, encouragement, and constant small rewards to reinforce the benefits of new habits.
Kelly McGonigal , PHd developed 40 Days to Positive Change—a brand new online program—to help you through the entire arc of the change process, from deciding on the habit you want to pursue to the celebration to cap off your success.

When you enroll in 40 Days to Positive Change, you’ll learn the latest research into the mechanics of behavioral change and go into the gritty details of the factors that solidify new habits.

See Kelly McGonigal’s Talk at Google, “The Willpower Instinct” , to learn more about her approach to willpower and change.
About the Talk: Neuroscientists talk about how we have one brain but two minds. We have a mind that acts on impulse and seeks immediate gratification, and we have another mind that controls our impulses and delays gratification to fulfill our long-term goals. We face willpower challenges when the two minds have competing goals. Learn what influences us to procrastinate or why we fail to resist temptation, and learn about small interventions that can have large, positive outcomes.
