Hi All

I regularly watch a vlogger called Destin who runs Smarter Every Day on YouTube. Turns out a recent episode he created demonstrates just why personal change, especially when it comes to "addiction", is so difficult. Here's the article Shaun sent me which explains how difficult additive behaviors are to change. Destin's video is embedded in the article. You can watch his video at his YouTube channel here. It's so funny, so interesting and really helpful insight in to how our brains work.

I think it's a great clip to use when introducing a discussion on addiction with your clients and staff. Hope you find it useful. Destin will be pleased that his work is making a difference :)

Take care

Greg
