Last week, in what can only be described as an act of reckless clarity, we published a white paper (grab it here—>) Unified Behavioral Model™ — Read more…listen now.
“Everything should be made as simple as possible—but not simpler.” — Einstein
Let’s cut to it:
The Unified Behavior Model™ (UBM) appears to be the first-ever behavioral framework that’s unified, goal-directed, falsifiable, and actually teachable (elemental) to anyone—not just researchers or therapists.
UBM reveals what’s really driving your behavior—in the moment and shaping it over time—not by isolating various aspects, but through a single operable, interdependent system: the Behavior Echo-System™ (BES).
At the heart of it?
The Behavior Echo-System (BES)
Behaviorally speaking, the Behavior Echo-System™ (BES) operates through multiple dynamic feedback loops composed of just four elemental, interdependent components:
Environment (your surroundings + your body)
Behaviors, Habits, and Skills (what you do—or don’t)
Stories/Thinking (the meaning machine in your mind)
Emotions & Feelings (your internal salience signals)
Together, these explain the essential four elements involved in influencing and shaping behavior over time.
If you believe there’s a missing, irreducible fifth element—we have a challenge for you. 👇
🧪 UBM’s Built-In Toolset:
P.A.R.R. Methodology
Mirrors the scientific method—a process-driven feedback loop for building habits and skills intentionally. It leverages your innate human capacities: choice, intention, and reflection.
Plan → Act → Record → Reassess

The model is falsifiable. Be the first to disprove its elemental claim (non-emergent, irreducible, causally independent), fifth element and win $1,000. Official entry here: https://unifiedbehaviormodel.comArchitect Mode vs. Tenant Mode
UBM gives you a choice: live on autopilot… or design your life’s BES on purpose.Behavioral Literacy = The 4th R
Reading, wRiting, aRithmetic… and now, BehavioR.
A modern education requires the tools to understand and shape behavior in a modern internet, smartphone and AI economyTracking as a Superpower
Behavior tracking isn’t just data—it strengthens focus, builds awareness, affirms your intention—a lot of people say “things”—tracking proves it. Behavior/Habit tracking literally trains your brain (aMCC, anyone?).

🎧 [Listen to THIS Episode ☝️]
UBM is the map. The model. The compass.
It’s time to raise the standard for behavioral literacy—together.
Elemental behavioral science shouldn't be reserved for labs and lectures.
We teach adolescents the ABCs and 123s —elemental math and grammar.
We can, and should, teach elemental behavior.
