Checking for Drift (S12E19)

In this episode, Dr. Lee Warren discusses the high failure rate of New Year's resolutions by the third week of January and introduces the concept of 'approach drift'—a deviation from our intended goals and habits. Drawing parallels from surgical practices, he explains how small, consistent checks can help us stay on course. The episode covers the pathophysiology and pharmacology of self-brain surgery, offering practical advice on using thought discipline to create lasting change. Dr. Warren also highlights the importance of maintaining good habits, checking for drift regularly, and using re-uptake inhibitors in our thought processes.
