    It’s really good and well thought through but I think it should have a wider range of topics involved

    This podcast is wonderful! I laugh, learn, relax and think. Such great evidence-based information and hilarious banter. Listen to every season at least twice 😁

  • Will definitely be re-listening!

    Absolutely love this podcast! I have been binge listening for the last few days and am hating it when I have to do important stuff instead of listening. A very important message not only to those who would like to live a healthier life, but also to the surrounding friends and family who think pressuring people will help them when ultimately it may be what is holding them back.

  • Invaluable

    So far, I’ve only listened to the first podcast in this series.

    But it’s clearly putting an invaluable message. In a gently supportive manner, with no shrill self righteousness.

    I’m looking forward to listening to the rest of this series. And I really hope that you’ll also listen to it.

Introducing What’s Up Docs? With Chris and Xand van Tulleken
Q: What is willpower and can you increase it?
Willpower is often misconstrued as a fixed trait; it's affected by motivation, planning, and personal circumstances rather than being a simple deficiency of character.
