When it comes to losing weight or overcoming addiction, which is more powerful: the ancient wisdom of mindfulness or the strength of your willpower? The answer may surprise you.
In this episode, we hear from author and researcher Dr. Judson Brewer, a pioneer in the science of mindfulness-based habit change. Dr. Jud explains the neurological mechanisms behind habit formation and why losing weight is unsuccessful when we try to force change.
Dr. Jud Brewer is a psychiatrist, neuroscientist and author who studies the intersection between mindfulness and addiction. He has written two New York Times best-sellers, The Craving Mind and Unwinding Anxiety. His 2015 TED Talk, “A Simple Way to Break a Bad Habit” has been viewed over 20 million times.
This talk is a brief excerpt from Dr. Judson Brewer’s guest teacher presentation to those enrolled in the Mindfulness Exercises Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training Program.
