Where to put dashes

Hello,

in an expression "behavior change driven life" - where would you put dashes if any?
  

Top answer

You mean hyphens. You need them here. "behavior-change-driven life" But such phrases are awkward , and do not convey your meaning very well.

What do you think of "Behavior-driven development"? Does it sound better because it's not so complicated (double hyphens) phrase? How would you reformulate "behavior-change-driven life"?
