Why Willpower Never Actually Changes You

Peter Crone, who coaches elite athletes and executives, explains why willpower is insufficient for lasting change. He argues that force can override a habit but never an identity, and that true change requires shifting the underlying identity. He also discusses how childhood conditioning scripts adult relationships, why you can't heal from the same consciousness that created your pain, and why chasing certainty fuels anxiety. The conversation offers a deep look at the subconscious patterns that keep people stuck.
