Whether it's absent-minded mistakes at work, a weakness for junk food, a smart phone addiction, or a lack of exercise, everyone has some bad habit or behavior that they'd like to change. But wanting to change and actually doing it - and sticking with it - are two very different things.

As Dr. Young explains, you don't change behavior by changing the person, you do it by changing the process.

"I help people and businesses by teaching them about human behavior," said Dr. Young. "I help them to predict events and to make lasting changes in their life and work. I specialize in health and medicine - and I also love playing music and Muay Thai boxing."
