What it is
Wharton professor Katy Milkman's book, with a foreword by Angela Duckworth, draws on behavioural science research to explain how people can make lasting changes. It introduces the 'fresh start effect', the finding that people are more motivated to pursue goals at moments that feel like new beginnings, such as a new week, year or birthday.
