• Motivation and different theories to understand it
• Stress and what it’s secretly doing to you & why we need a little “good” stress
• Why there isn’t one definition of “healthy” and a new model for understanding health
• A new way of thinking about everyday habits and how you need to change them
• How to think about your relationship with yourself—are you falling into learned helplessness?
