We all have nasty habits we would love to break. The new Pavlok bracelet will give the person wearing it a 350-volt jolt each time they violate their habit training! The bracelet runs about $200 on Amazon and promises to deliver a zap on your command. The idea is that if you punish yourself enough, you’ll feel your urges subside “within 3-5 days,” according to the manufacturer. Though the device can be programmed to shock automatically for some of your bad behaviors, such as sleeping in, those who can’t be trusted to discipline themselves can recruit a friend or family member. Would you be willing to shock yourself (or have someone shock you) to break a habit?
