About this course

This course translates decades of behavior-science research — from BJ Fogg's Tiny Habits to James Clear's Atomic Habits model and Charles Duhigg's habit loop — into a step-by-step personal system. You will map your existing habits, design new routines backed by neuroscience, and build an environment that makes good behavior the default. By the end you will have a working habit architecture for any goal you choose to tackle.
