Change Behavior by Changing the Person

Sean Young, PhD, MS, is the Executive Director of the University of California Institute for Prediction Technology, the UCLA Center for Digital Behavior, and a Medical School Professor with the UCLA Department of Family Medicine. Whether it’s absentminded mistakes at work, a weakness for junk food, a smartphone addiction, or a lack of exercise, everyone has a bad habit or behavior that they’d like to change. However, wanting to change and actually doing it are two very different things. Dr. Sean Young, an authoritative new voice in the field of behavioral science and the director of the UCLA Center of Digital Behavior and UC Institute of Prediction Technology, knows a great deal about our behavior and how we can actually change it for the better. In his new book “Stick with It” he takes a fascinating look at the science of lasting behavior filled with crucial knowledge and practical advice to help everyone successfully alter their actions and improve their lives.
