249. Using Motivation and Happiness Science to Make 2023 Your Best Year Ever

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Happy (almost) New Year! This is the last episode of 2022, coming out on December 30 – and what a year it has been! My second book,</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">What Your Employees Need and Can't Tell You</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">came out in October, and I got to do a book signing at the Sam's Club Auditorium which was amazing! I also got to speak at some amazing conferences, including travel to Amsterdam and for multiple groups in Latin America, had students from around the world in the certificate program at Texas A&M, got to work with amazing clients and so much more. I can't wait to see what 2023 has in store. One of the things I am most excited about is speaking at SXSW in Austin in March. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Well, speaking of 2023 being an amazing year, that's what this episode is all about. I've done something a little bit different in this episode by bringing on two guests to do a panel of sorts. One of them you have met before, Ayelet Fishbach, Professor of Behavioral Science and Marketing at the University of Chicago and author of</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Get It Done</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, which came out earlier this year. Our other panelist, Cassie Holmes, is a professor at UCLA who wrote the new book</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Happier Hour,</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">which is so beyond fantastic. She specializes in the science of happiness and talks about time poverty and so many other amazing things. (Don’t worry, we have a full interview that is all about Cassie and her work coming out in early 2023.)</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In today's episode, that topic is having the best, happiest year by understanding the science of motivation, goals, achievement, happiness, mindset, and more. Listen in to find out how you can make 2023 your best year yet! </span></p> <h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Show Notes:</span><
