  • Summary

  • With summer ending, back to school routines happening at home, and the need to get back to healthy habits, we wanted to bring back a fantastic conversation between WHOOP Global Head of Human Performance, Principal Scientist Kristen Holmes and cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Maya Shankar. Maya is also a former White House Senior Advisor, and creator of the top podcast, A Slight Change of Plans. Kristen and Maya discuss studying violin under Itzhak Perlman (2:22), how a hand injury spurred what Maya calls identity foreclosure (5:21), transitioning to a career in neuroscience (8:48), the endowment effect (16:43), the benefits of the fresh start effect (19:15), how to think about restarting after your goals have been derailed (21:29), the best ways to cement new habits (26:08), the power of data and behavior science (30:18), how to make good decisions (31:57), and the illusion of control (34:49).
