In this "Lessons" episode, Dr. Jud Brewer, Brown University neuroscientist and author of *Unwinding Anxiety*, explains why willpower alone is not enough to break unwanted habits and change behavior. Drawing on neuroscience and his research into habit formation, he explores how the brain learns automatic behaviors through rewarding experiences and how everyday habits can gradually develop into addictive patterns. Dr. Brewer breaks down the role of positive and negative reinforcement, explaining how behaviors can be reinforced by either pursuing pleasure or escaping discomfort. He also reveals why understanding the cues and rewards behind our habits can be more effective than simply trying to exert greater willpower.

In this "Lessons" episode, Ken Honda, author of *Happy Money*, which has sold over 8 million copies, explores why money can become deeply connected to survival, self-worth, and our definition of success. He explains why knowing when enough is enough can break the cycle of constantly chasing more, how focusing on creating value for others allows money to follow, and why redefining success can lead to greater fulfillment. Ken also shares how finding the right environment, understanding your strengths, and asking deeper questions can transform your relationship with money, work, and life, offering a different perspective on wealth, purpose, and what it truly means to be successful.
