I'm going to play a little bit more.

Brett McKay here and welcome to another edition of the Art of Manliness Podcast.

So we've written about Habits a lot on the website.

We've had experts on Habits on the podcast before.

The reason why I talk about Habits so much because I'm a big believer that forming good

habits and breaking those bad ones is an integral role in becoming the man you want to be,

the person you want to be.

Because the more you can offload those things you're supposed to do and make them go on

autopilot because of Habit Formation, the better you are that frees up mental RAM space

for more important things, more high level things.

So I brought on today's guest, Niz Mnish Saiti, who's the founder of a new company called

Pavlock.

And what Pavlock is, we'll talk about it in more detail in the podcast, but it's a wearable

device that's connected to an app that's designed to help you form good habits and break

bad ones.

And one of the ways it does that is that the wearable device shocks you.

So it's kind of wicked, but it's pretty cool.

Anyways, in this podcast, we're going to talk about what the research says, the best way

to form habits are.

And one thing that Mnish emphasizes that a lot of people who write about habits don't

really talk about is the power of the stick, the power of punishment and helping us get

motivated to do things we're supposed to do and stop doing things we're supposed to do.
