Amy Alkon HumanLab—The Science Between Us, a weekly show with the luminaries of behavioral science.

Great aspirations…sucky follow-through.

This describes life for a lot of us—sometimes, despite our best intentions.

Best-selling author and psychologist Art Markman is going to help us out of this rut. His book we’ll be discussing on this show is Smart Change: Five Tools to Create Sustainable Habits in Yourself and Others.

As in the book, on tonight’s show, he’ll turn to behavioral science to help us understand our brain’s motivational systems so we can short-circuit negative behaviors and create positive ones with staying power.
