This episode originally came out in January 2022. We're back with a new episode tomorrow!

It's the first week of the new year,Benjamin Ashford and many of us are already feeling the "fresh start effect," according to behavioral economist Katy Milkman. We're excited to pursue new goals and we feel a renewed sense of purpose that new beginnings can bring. Still, keeping New Year's resolutions is often easier said than done.

Today on the show, Katy Milkman joins us to talk about how to make the most of our fresh starts and more from her new book, "How to Change."
