We\\u2019re almost at that time of year where we contemplate making New Year\\u2019s resolutions. So we decided to rerun an episode about the blazingly obvious fact that creating healthy habits can be infernally difficult. But why? And what are the best strategies for getting around this? 

Katy Milkman has spent nearly two decades researching these questions. She\'s a behavioral scientist and professor at The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. She hosts a podcast called Choiceology and has written a book called How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be. This episode explores why willpower is such an unreliable inner resource, why making habit change fun is such a powerful technique and key strategies from her quiver, such as \\u201cthe fresh start effect,\\u201d \\u201ctemptation bundling,\\u201d \\u201ccommitment devices,\\u201d \\u201cpiggybacking\\u201d and \\u201cgiving yourself a mulligan.\\u201d
