About this Seminar
With the new year, we have opportunities to make better decisions, and many of us are thinking about resetting our lifestyles for a healthier course. Warren Bickel, Ph.D., and Alexandra DiFeliceantonio, Ph.D., will explore and explain the science behind dysfunctional decision-making, specifically food and drug consumption, and why individuals choose immediate gratification over healthier lifestyles.
