Breaking bad - the science of changing habits and changing people

BBC Radio Ulster - Sunday Sequence, Breaking bad - the science of changing habits and changing people

How long does it take to make or break a habit? Can we really learn to be better people? 

Is becoming a better person simply a habit and are we really different as a result or the same people with a different mindset? 

A man with a mission - Archdeacon Robert Miller and Father Michael Canny look back on the life of Bishop James Mehaffey.

Hard as it is to believe as we emerge from Christmas mode, we are now heading towards the middle of January, a time when many of those New Year resolutions may have faltered. But how hard is it to break or make a habit? Does breaking one habit merely lead to the making of another? and in terms of our development as humans, can we really become better people or do we remain the same people with different habits? Presenter Audrey Carville in conversation with management consultant and founder of the Christian L'Arche community in Belfast Maria Garvey, also with us is Nick Chater - Professor of Behavioural Science at Univeristy of Warwick and Biocentric Psychoanalyst Prof. Dr. Melania Canavan.

Losing a mother and becoming a priest - Marie Elsa Bragg on the challenges in her life.

And it changed my life - the non-believer who visited every church in Belfast and, in the end, found faith.
