Why Human Behavior Is Harder to Understand Than Nutrition or Exercise

Learn the OPEX Method: https://www.opexfit.com/ccp-level-1 Try CoachRx free: https://www.coachrx.app/ In this episode of Frameworks, Carl Hardwick and James FitzGerald discuss why behavior is harder to define than exercise or nutrition, and why real experience matters when learning how to live well. They explore the risks of becoming set in your ways, the difference between learning and simply consuming information, and how books, relationships, and everyday life can challenge what you think you know. The conversation also examines how phones and parasocial media shape behavior, whether a machine can coach human behavior, and what kindness means across different people and cultures. The central idea is simple: keep learning, stay open to new perspectives, and test what you believe against real life.
