Host: Christopher L. Camp, M.D., Creator & Guide | Mayo Clinic Human Optimization Project

Guest: Griffin Jax, Professional Baseball Pitcher | Minnesota Twins Baseball Club

 

 

Most of what we are today (our happiness, position, relationships, health, etc.) has come about as a direct consequence of our habits. Good or bad, these habits largely determine who we are, what we do, and how successfully (or unsuccessfully) we navigate life. With habits being such a critical contributor to our lives, why do we struggle so much to consistently do the things we already know we need to do? To help us understand how to form healthy habits and make them a part of our default routine, our expert today is Griffin Jax, Major League Baseball pitcher and Air Force Academy Graduate.

 

The three big questions we are going to work through with Griffin include:

 

  1. What does it mean to “form a habit,” and why is it so crucial for productivity and personal growth?
  2. What are the main challenges people face when trying to develop good habits?
  3. What practical strategies can help us create and sustain beneficial habits for long-term productivity?
