    Host Holly Wayment welcomes back UT Austin Developmental Psychologist David Yeager, author of 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People. Together, they delve into the complexities of guiding teenagers and young adults through the challenges of modern life, from screen time and social media to body piercings and nutrition.

    Dr. Yeager shares groundbreaking insights on how the brain's motivation drivers remain similar from ages 10 to 25, emphasizing the importance of social status, respect, and acceptance. He discusses effective communication strategies for tackling issues like excessive screen use, encouraging parents and clinicians to collaborate with young people to achieve shared goals such as nutrition.

    The conversation also explores innovative approaches to nutrition, highlighting a fascinating collaboration with Disney's Epcot to reshape perceptions of healthy eating. By framing healthy habits as a rebellious act against manipulative food companies, Dr. Yeager demonstrates how adolescents can be inspired to make better dietary choices.
