Watch: How to create habits for a longer, healthier life
The Habit Index, a new research paper launched in partnership with the London School of Economics (LSE), explores the science of habits and how to harness behaviour change to drive long-term health improvements.
At a special launch event, we heard from leading experts in the fields of health, wellness and behaviour change, as they delved into the study’s findings and the implications for wider health strategy.
Among the speakers were the likes of Professor Cass Sunstein from Harvard Law School, the LSE's Professor Joan Costa-Font and Professor Davi Sridhar of the University of Edinburgh Medical School, alongside Discovery CEO and Vitality founder Adrian Gore and Vitality UK's Dr Katie Tryon.
We explored the Habit Index insights in this article here and you can watch the event coverage in full below.
