Episode Synopsis "Ep. 10: New Year's Resolutions - How can we keep them? Dectech Discusses"

In our tenth episode, Dectech’s founders, Dr. Henry Stott and Professor Nick Chater, discuss New Year's resolutions. Drawing on their own experiences and insights from the cognitive science literature, they propose strategies that can help you to set effective resolutions and stick to them.  The episode explores interesting studies on factors that influence the effectiveness of behavioural change, from implementation intentions to specific actions and how ego depletion and social commitment can impact your likelihood of success. Nick and Henry illustrate why some resolutions are easier to achieve than others, and consider the steps you could take to successfully achieve your goals.
