How Behavioral Science Can Improve Your Life: Jon Levy Returns
- Or listen in:
Greetings, SuperFriends!
Today we are joined by Jon Levy… not me, but my much cooler, much more socially developed doppelganger in New York City. We've had Jon on the show before, but we were so caught up talking about his book, The 2AM Principle, that we didn't actually get to talk about what he does normally, when he's not promoting a book… and that is behavioral science.
In the episode we go very deep into a lot of different aspects of behavioral science and how you can use it to achieve superhuman results… whether that means in your personal life, in your professional life, happiness, health, wealth, or success. I learned a lot of really really interesting things.
John is just a fountain of research and psychological concepts and ideas, and explains them in a way that you can not only understand, but also apply in your day to day life. We learn how you can enjoy experiences more, how you can build better, richer relationships, and everything in between. I think you guys are really going to enjoy the episode!
