Join Ruth and Vishal's conversation on the emergence of behavioural design, focussing on evolving from behaviour change at the individual level to reimagining change at the system level.

We present three takeaways to start applying behavioural science to solve big challenges, change established habits and impact behaviours at scale.

Habits are not something that we intuitively understand. A better appreciation of why they exist can help us fully embrace good habits into our own lives.

Have you heard about the neuroscience processes of 'tuning' and 'pruning'? Did you know that your brain may hold a secret blueprint to unlock your growth mindset?

As neuroscientists unravel the inner workings of a growth mindset, we can lean new pathways which rewards the process that fosters growth in our lives, our businesses and our communities.

As is true of fasting practices, our internal reward system can benefit from disruptions to motivate ourselves to reach our goals. The key for dopamine practices (a.k.a. intermittent rewards) is to exercise protocols adjusting our ability to feel pleasure by engaging in some sort of intermittent reward schedule. 

Julia Galef, author of The Scout Mindset, describes a scout as someone that seeks to explore what’s really out there to form as accurately a map of the world that’s possible. Here are 3 cases why embracing a “scout mindset” can help you paint a more accurate picture of reality.

Topics we share in this conversation are: (1) Why is it incredibly important to maintain a healthy work-life balance? (2) What is the impact of micro stress doses (MSDs) and it’s implications on workplace wellbeing? (3) How might we make structural and psychological changes to cultivate a healthy work-life balance?
