Show Notes

You've heard about the 4-step habit loop - cue, craving, response, reward- from this series's first two episodes. Today, Andy continues to delve into the world of habits and true behaviour change, focusing on the role of cravings. 


So, what triggers a craving, and how can you control your desires? What role does a craving have in developing better habits? Tune in to hear Andy's simple explanation with real-world examples of habit stacking and temptation bundling. These two concepts are discussed in the book Atomic Habits by James Clear, which Andy recommends you read. 



“Thinking about the habit and then the subsequent reward drives up dopamine. That's the craving.”


– Andy Naylor
