Your environment is always training you - often before you consciously notice what it's doing.

In this episode, I explain why environment includes more than the people you spend time with, how repeated cues shape what you think and do, and why even independent thinkers aren't immune to what they repeatedly see, hear, and tolerate.

I also share how I changed my environment for deep writing work, why willpower has to fight whatever your environment makes easy, and how one small change can make better actions feel more normal.
