Tools for Setting & Achieving Goals

<p>In this <a href="https://www.hubermanlab.com/essentials">Huberman Lab Essentials</a> episode, my guest is Dr. Emily Balcetis, PhD, a professor of psychology at New York University who studies how visual perception influences motivation and goal pursuit. She explains how to better visualize and overcome challenges to achieve physical or cognitive goals. We also explore the science of setting goals, measuring progress effectively and research showing how fitness level and energy state can shape how difficult the world appears.</p>
