- Winning the Battle Against Yourself
- Description
- <p>Many of us have been raised to believe that if we want to get something done, we just need to set our minds to it. Where there's a will, there's a way, right? Yet somehow we end up polishing off that pint of ice cream in the freezer, or spending more than our budget allows. It's almost as if we're not the ones in charge. This week, we talk with psychologist and neuroscientist <a href="https://www.asc.upenn.edu/people/faculty/emily-falk-phd">Emily Falk</a> about why our minds often conspire against our best interests, and how we can regain control. </p><p><i>Do you have follow-up questions or thoughts for Emily Falk after listening to today’s conversation?
