Headspace x Dr. Maya Shankar: You Are A Work in Progress

Cognitive Scientist Dr. Maya Shankar is guest-hosting all week! Today is all about the impact that big changes can have on our self-identity. We’ll explore why we’re so attached to the labels we give ourselves and that other people give us. And how seeing our identities as more malleable can help us weather the storms that life inevitably sends our way.  If you'd like to hear some great stories about personal change and the science of human behavior, check out Dr. Maya Shankar’s podcast “A Slight Change of Plans” here.  Try the Headspace app free for 30 days here!
