About this episode
People have been setting New Year’s resolutions for thousands of years. But as we’re approaching yet another season of goal setting, we’re equipping Portlanders with the latest in the modern psychology of breaking bad habits. Today on City Cast Portland, we’re talking with Dr. Elliot Berkman, a professor of psychology at the University of Oregon, who studies the factors that influence health goals like quitting smoking or eating healthier. He’s sharing advice on becoming more resolute in our resolutions and has a unique perspective on why we may not need them after all. Who would you like to hear on City Cast Portland?
