Guest: Marco Palma, PhD, Associate Professor, Agricultural Economics, and Director, Human Behavior Laboratory, Texas A&M University More than half-way through January . . . how’s the New Year’s diet or exercise plan going? The temptation is to be ambitious in turning a new leaf – “I’ll work out every day for an hour” or “I’ll cut out all sugar and processed foods.” But that may be exactly the wrong approach for building the kind of self-control that can make you successful at your resolution in the long-run.

19 MINS

Guest: Hilary Hahn, Grammy-Winning Violinist, album “Retrospective” out Jan. 19 World-famous, Grammy-winning violinist Hilary Hahn caused a stir last year when she hopped on Instagram and told her 70,000 followers: “Hi everyone, it’s Hilary, I’m speaking quietly because I’m in a public space. I’ve decided to put a short video of my practicing every day.” #100daysofpractice was her take on a global effort to do something creative daily for 100 days. As promised, Hahn posted short videos daily practicing in closets and offices and dressing rooms and sometimes outdoors. To see a violin virtuoso doing scales and drilling small parts of music and even getting frustrated sometimes was a revelation to her fans.
