A Conversation with Cass Sunstein

BCFG Co-Directors Angela Duckworth and Katy Milkman’s Q&A with Harvard Professor, best-selling author, and BCFG Team Scientist Cass Sunstein drew a crowd of well over 100 in late January (congratulations to those lucky attendees who won a signed copy of Nudge: The Final Chapter). You can now watch the event on our YouTube channel.

Struggling to achieve an ambitious goal? Try breaking it down into smaller pieces!

A new op-ed in Scientific American from BCFG Team Scientists Aneesh Rai, Marissa Sharif, Edward Chang, Katy Milkman, and Angela Duckworth shares their research demonstrating just how much breaking down ambitious goals into smaller pieces can matter for motivating productivity.

Congratulations to Team Scientist Mary Murphy on the publication of her fabulous new book Cultures of Growth: How the New Science of Mindset Can Transform Individuals, Teams, and Organizations.
