Katy Milkman, the James G. Dinan
Professor at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania,
host of Choiceology, Charles Schwab’s popular podcast
on behavioral economics, the co-founder and co-director alongside
Angela Duckworth of the Behavior Change for Good Initiative, and
most recently, the author of How to Change: The Science of Getting From Where You
are to Where You Want to Be.
Our conversation covers Katy’s path to studying change and her
new book, which is framed around identifying obstacles to change
and using scientific principles to get past those obstacles. We
outline the eight obstacles in the book and dive in on the
challenges of getting started, confidence, conformity,
procrastination, laziness, and making changes last. Along the way,
we touch on some applications of her research to investing and to
her own life.
Through conversations with leaders in the money game, we explore how these holders of the keys to the kingdom allocate their time and their capital.
