You Can Learn New Habits Very Fast: Brain Circuits Rewire Faster With Urgency

About this video

Huberman challenges the claim that a new habit requires a fixed number of days to form. Huberman argues a habit can form as quickly as it needs to form, and that the limits on neuroplasticity are set largely by how critical the change is, rather than by a universal calendar timeline.

Key takeaways

• Huberman argues there is no single fixed number of days required to form a habit.
• Huberman says the limits on neuroplasticity are set by how critical the new habit is.
