Hello and welcome to the psychology podcast with Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman where we give

you insights into the mind, brain, behavior, and creativity. Each episode will feature

a new guest who will stimulate your mind and give you a greater understanding of yourself, others, and the world we live in.

Hopefully we'll also provide a glimpse into human possibility.

Thanks for listening and enjoy the best. So today on the podcast I'm really excited to have Charles Doegg on the show.

Charles is a reporter for the New York Times

and author of two books on habits and productivity.

The Power of Habit, Why We Do What We Do What We Do in Life in Business,

and Smarter, faster, better,

the secrets of being productive in life and business.

Hey Charles, thanks for being here.

Thanks for having me on.

So really interesting book, your latest one,

Smarter, faster, better, and who doesn't want to be more productive?

That's the hope, right?

Everyone at least see something useful in it.

I mean, my gosh, it is a great substantial book, but from a marketing perspective, like who doesn't want to be smarter, faster, and or better?

And who doesn't want to know a secret?

Who doesn't want to be more productive in life?

And who isn't in the business world in some

capacity.

So...
