Emily Balcetis, PhD, social psychologist, professor at New York University, author, researcher, and speaker, joins me on this episode. Emily directs NYU's Social Perception, Action and Motivation Lab and has spent more than 20 years studying behavioral science, judgment and decision-making, self-regulation, goal setting, and motivation. She has published more than 70 scientific manuscripts, delivered TEDx talks viewed by millions, and is the author of Clearer, Closer, Better: How Successful People See the World. Emily's research has been featured in Forbes, TIME, NPR, Scientific American, The Atlantic, and other major media outlets. She has lectured at Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Berkeley, and the University of Chicago. 🎙️ What We Discuss: ✅ How what we see isn't always an objective reflection of reality and how our perceptions influence our decisions, motivation, and behavior ✅ The science of goal setting and why the way we visually focus on a goal can change how difficult or achievable it feels ✅ Why narrowing your focus can make challenging goals feel closer and help improve motivation, effort, and performance ✅ The difference between simply visualizing success and creating a realistic plan that accounts for the obstacles we're likely to encounter ✅ How to think differently about progress, setbacks, and the strategies we can use to keep moving toward the person we want to become ✅ And much more!
