Hello Wise Wordians,

Welcome back to another episode of ‘Wise Words Book Summaries’.

This is the 2nd part of ‘Exercised’ by Daniel Lieberman which attempts to debunk a number of myths we assume are true about exercise by using an anthropological and cross-cultural perspective.

In this episode, we cover the remaining myths Daniel Lieberman attempts to debunk, such as:

• That Normal Humans Trade Off Speed for Endurance
• That We Evolved to Be Extremely Strong
• That Sports = Exercise
• That You Can't Lose Weight by Walking
• That Running is Bad for your Knees
• That It's Normal to Be Less Active as We Age
• That "Just Do It" Works
• That There Is an Optimal Dose and Type of Exercise

Hello Wise Wordians,

Welcome back to another episode of ‘Wise Words Book Summaries’.

This week we are summarising ‘Good Habits Bad Habits’ by Wendy Wood which explores the mechanisms that underpin habit formation from both a psychological and neuroscientific perspective.

In this episode we cover:

• The difference between our conscious selves and our habitual selves
• The importance of persisting, despite our conscious intentions, to do otherwise.
• The areas of the brain responsible for habit formation and development. 
• The four basic building blocks of habits; creating a stable context, reducing friction, making it rewarding, and repeating until it becomes automatic.
• How habits perform under stress.
• How to leverage variability to build new habits or modify the old ones.
