Show Topic:
Every day we wake up determined to engage with life—to overcome work challenges, finish that novel, reach fitness goals, or repair a strained relationship. Despite our best intentions, we fall short. Why is it so hard to finish what we start?

Reaching goals after repeated frustration starts with understanding the impulse known as the Swipe, a side effect of our high-tech culture.

In this episode, host CMA’s David Ciullo discusses with bestselling author, internationally recognized organizational psychologist, educator, CEO and Co Author Dr. Tracy Maylett of the new book Swipe: The Science Behind Why We Don’t Finish What We Start.

Listen and learn as we discuss how this mechanism works and how to short-circuit the Swipe, reengage, and finally finish what we start.
