b'Art Markman is a professor of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. Art writes for the Harvard Business Review and\\xa0his\\xa0most recent book,\\xa0Brain Briefs, focuses on how we use the science of motivation to change unhealthy behaviours at work and at home. In a terrific\\xa0show, we cover how to frame our goals for success better,\\xa0how to improve our focus, how to learn more effectively, and how to control the disempowering effect of social comparison. \\xa0 When people ask Art what he does, how does he like to reply? A Professor gets paid to be confused. Can that be taken as a negative? What\\u2019s the thing we don\\u2019t know but should know about our minds? What\\u2019s the psychology behind changing a behaviour which is not helping us? Frame goals around go, not stop Make desirable behaviours easy, and undesirable behaviours hard How design beats discipline Focus on the process, not the outcomes. Is there a cognitive trigger we can use to develop sustainable change? Should we plan for what might go wrong and visualise the hardships? Getting ready for the most significant hurdles can change disempowering behaviour Can there be a sense of shame or guilt that accompanies goal setting? What are social\\xa0comparisons and the effect it has on our\\xa0wellness\\xa0and our feeling of fulfilment Dissatisfaction is a good thing, and how it gives you the energy to act Wanting dissatisfaction alone can be frustrating. What\\xa0else do we need with dissatisfaction? Are regrets positive? As we get older, do we talk ourselves into cognitive decline? Can we slow down time? Where is the sweet spot between gratitude and dissatisfaction?\\xa0 Is gratitude a way to move away from social\\xa0comparison? You can\'t fix an area you are\\xa0not aware of, does it take a certain\\xa0amount of humility? When learning should we go wide or go deep?\\xa0 What is the cognitive science behind sleep? What\\u2019s the newest, coolest discovery in psychology? \\xa0 \\xa0 LINKS \\xa0 Art Markman Psychology Today\\xa0 https://www.psychologytoday.com/au/experts/art-markman-phd \\xa0 Art Markman Book http://www.smartthinkingbook.com \\xa0 Art Markman Fast Company Story https://bit.ly/2JLUtNH \\xa0 Bohemian Rhapsody - You\\u2019re Late, EMI Records Scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ0btmaSzho \\xa0 The Mojo Radio Show http://www.themojoradioshow.com \\xa0 The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/ \\xa0 The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod \\xa0 The Mojo Radio Show Answering Machine 08 7200 6656 08 7200 MOJO \\xa0 The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson \\xa0 Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.
