Welcome to the show. I'm Jordan Harbinger and as always I'm here with my producer Jason DeFilippo.

This discussion today includes insights from Sean Young.

He's the executive director of the University of California Institute for Prediction Technology.

Along with other accolades, he's also the author of Stick With It.

He studies digital behavior and prediction technology and helps people and businesses apply this knowledge to change behaviors,

like sticking to New Year's resolutions and predicting what people will do in the future,

especially in areas like health, medicine, politics, and business.

Today we'll discover the ABCs of behavior, these types of behavior that we do unconsciously,

compulsively, or just plain bad behavior that we rationalize when we shouldn't.

We'll also explore seven forces of behavior change, each of which can be applied to a different behavior type,

and last but not least, we'll learn which of the behavior change tools to apply to each behavior type,

so we know we're attacking each specific problem with the right tool.

By the end of the show, you'll have a strategy to uncover and classify habits that you don't like,

or that you want to build, as well as have the tools to make those changes stick.

Don't forget we have a worksheet for today's episode, which will be especially useful for this one,

because there's a lot of lists and things like that that you'll have want to take a note for,

but if you're at the gym, you're driving, or just walking around, you can always go grab the worksheet,

and it'll be done for you.

And you can also solidify your understanding of the key takeaways here from Sean Young.

The show is free, but the fee I ask is that you share it with friends when you find something useful,

which should be every episode, and the worksheets are how we make sure of that.

The link to the worksheets is in the show notes at jordanharbinger.com slash podcast.
