Have you ever watched someone make a mistake over and over again, until you finally correct them... only to make things worse? In this week’s episode, psychologist @stuartablon explains why these methods fail, and offers better ways to help the people we care about make lasting change.

“It frustrates us. It triggers us. And that makes it hard for us to have an empathic understanding — or an even an accurate understanding — about what might be getting in that person's way.” When people do bad things, we often think it's because they're bad people, or they're being stubborn, or they're simply not trying hard enough. We attempt to help them fix this behavior through rewards and punishments, or we just encourage them to try harder. This week, @stuartablon shares a psychological insight that shows us a better way to inspire change. apple.co/43MrOyv
