  Professor Pozzulo’s Pick (July, 2025) Get it Done: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation , Ayelet Fishbach (2022, published by Little, Brown Spark) My take: Have you ever experienced that excitement to embark on a new goal (you’ll start Monday!), only to find that part way through to reaching your goal, that you lost interest, your motivation wanes. In Get it Done: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation , Fishbach (2022) explores the complex construct of motivation. You’ll discover barriers to motivation and how to deal with them so you can reach your goals. Fishbach provides a fulsome examination of the science of motivation. She explores orientations such as cup half full or empty and what motivates under these different perspectives. Intriguingly, which part of the glass motivates you will depend on context and the importance of your goal. At the end of each chapter, a series of questions allow you to reflect to better understand the science and strategi...

  Professor Pozzulo’s Pick (January, 2026) How to Winter: Harness Your Mindset to Thrive on Cold, Dark, or Difficult Days by Kari Leibowitz, Ph.D. (2024; published by Penguin Life) My take: Imagine living in a place where the sun doesn’t rise for two months a year. What impact would that have on your well-being? The data may surprise you. In How to Winter: Harness Your Mindset to Thrive on Cold, Dark, or Difficult Days, Leibowitz explores the connection between “seasonal variation” and well-being. And for anyone who’s not a fan of winter, Leibowitz might have you re-thinking your view on this colder, darker season and how to approach it for improved well-being. Leibowitz’s trek to Tromso, Norway (in the Artic Circle!) starts her journey on better understanding the relationship between winter and well-being along with discovering strategies that could be applied to improve mood. Leibowitz discovers that for residents of Tromso, winter was a season of excitement, something to look f...

  Professor Pozzulo’s Pick (June, 2026) Once Upon a Stranger: The Science of How “Small” Talk Can Add Up to a Big Life , by Dr. Gillian Sandstrom (2026) My take: Ever feel like you want to chat, but everyone you know is busy? Why not venture down to your local coffee shop and strike up a conversation with the cashier, barista, or even the person standing in line? In Once Upon a Stranger: The Science of How Small Talk Can Add Up to a Big Life, Sandstrom explains the benefits of talking to strangers. If you’re anything like me, you may be thinking, “I’m not comfortable talking to strangers!”. But by the end of the book, you may be ready to give it a try. Sandstrom has made it her mission to understand why we feel anxious even thinking about talking to strangers and how pushing through our fears may give us massive well-being benefits and may even change our life. As Sandstrom demonstrates talking to strangers is a skill that can be learned and developed. The more conversations you ha...
