Harnessing the Power of Habits: Insights into Formation, Reinforcement, and Transformation with Stephanie Crowe from Learn.net

The Safety Link Podcast by Kenyon Manley

Have you ever pondered about the power of habits and how they shape our everyday lives - from the good ones to the seemingly harmless yet subtly harmful habits? We've got just the right episode for you! Join us and our inspiring guest, kenyana, as we navigate the fascinating world of habit formation and learning. Embark on a powerful journey as kenyana shares her story about her father's determination to learn typing with two fingers and how it transformed their family's future.
Hanging on to old habits can be as addictive as munching on that packet of chips after a long day. Have you ever wondered about what triggers such behaviors? Our exploration takes us into the role of dopamine in creating habits and how it's linked to addiction. We also discuss good habits like wearing a seatbelt and the potential role of artificial intelligence in reinforcing such habits. Ever heard of cognitive dissonance? It's that conflicting feeling you get when trying to kick an old habit, and we've got interesting insights on that too.
Finally, we delve into the intricacies of habits and their formation. Despite logical thinking, sometimes we find ourselves indulging in habits that could potentially be harmful - like eating a cheeseburger while driving. We look at how employing positive reinforcement can help redirect these habits towards a healthier path. Our discussion also highlights the contextual nature of habits and the importance of safety training in inculcating safe habits. We wrap up by discussing the concept of undistracted driving, the importance of continuous learning, and recommending two illuminating books - "The One Minute Manager" and "Atomic Habits". Tune in to our episode to learn more about the power of habits and their transformation!
