Bryan Johnson is running a 30-day experiment to help people reduce their Self-Aided Destruction scores to zero by eliminating obvious habits like overeating, skipping exercise, and missing bedtime. He's assembled five behavioral experts representing different schools of thought, and participants choose which protocol to follow.
What are the lessons that people can take away for improving that adherence? For not having to rely on motivation as much for improving their discipline, if that's even what you refer to it as. So I'm in no way an expert in this area on behavioral change. I'm currently putting together a team of behavioral change experts and I wanted to do this as a public experiment. I'm going to invite whoever wants to participate in a 30 day challenge to try to get their self aided destruction scores to zero. And so the easy ones we target would be eating too much food, eating junk food, skipping exercise, not meeting your bedtime, just some really basic ones, not get into the nuanced ones. Where is gaming good or bad? Under what circumstances? You know, like let's leave those complicated ones out. Just can you stop the blatant self aided destruction behaviors? And then to have five behavioral change experts represent their school of thought, like here's our protocol, here's how you go about doing it, CBT versus whatever. And then have people choose the school of thought that they resonate with.
