Episode 25: Transformation – Decepticons Optimize, Autobots Transform

What if your obsession with “life hacks” and optimizing everything is actually holding you back from the change you really want? In this funny, yet uncomfortably real episode, Dr. Junaid Niazi uses Transformers, dopamine hits, and evolutionary biology to explain the difference between optimization and true transformation. If you’ve been tweaking your schedule, color-coding your to-do list, or downloading yet another EHR productivity app, this is your sign to stop life hacking and start changing your life. Because Decepticons optimize. But Autobots transform.
