In the very first episode of her podcast, Friederike Fabritius discusses the neuroscience behind why 92% of New Year's resolutions fail. The episode digs into three core reasons: the brain's tendency to conserve energy, its immature prefrontal cortex, and its focus on short-term rewards. Friederike provides practical advice on setting realistic, emotionally meaningful goals that slightly challenge the brain. Emphasizing the importance of self-efficacy, she aims to help listeners choose sustainable goals and improve their habit-forming strategies.
