This document discusses ways to improve willpower and achieve excellence. It suggests focusing on three tools: environment, mind, and habits. The environment should be designed to make good choices easy through managing expectations and distractions. The mind should explore underlying motivations and beliefs about willpower. Foundational habits like sleep, diet and exercise provide energy and resilience. By tuning these levers through small changes, one can exponentially improve willpower and be their best self, or excellent, more often.

If you have ever wondered why you can’t stay on a diet for very long….blame it on the brain. Lasting change requires mindful practice. A tired brain defaults to old habits. This webinar will discuss how to use our understanding of neuroscience to our advantage, especially as related to changing eating behaviors.
You’ll gain an understanding of:
- The formation of habits and your power to change them.
- How to take care of your brain so it works with you instead of against you.
- How mindful practice creates long lasting change.

The wise Abbe replies, "Possibly nothing at all; the overflow of my brain would probably, in a state of freedom, have evaporated in a thousand follies."
