Aspen Ideas Festival

Behavior Change: The Blockbuster Drug of the 21st Century

Season 1 Episode 8 | 59m 27s

Todd Breyfogle, Moderator, Howard Koh, Sabina Rashid, Kevin Vigilante

To complement our vast investments in precision medicine and other futuristic science, more resources are needed to encourage behavior change. Would a more custom-tailored approach have more influence? Should we emphasize messages of hope and purpose rather than fear? Can we develop a drug that gives people the willpower to make better choices?
