In episode 427, I chat with Organizational Psychologist Dr. Benjamin Hardy who is also the best selling author of "WillPower Doesn't Work" and has a new book out called "Personality Isn't Permanent."
Listen as he tells the story of why a personality test could have prevented the great relationship he has with his wife and part of what lead him to creating his new book.
He talks about why:
- Personality tests don't tell the full story of who someone is
- These tests seem to be popular and why they're not psychologically sound and could be harmful
- We tend to change over time and why we must
- Labels about ourselves are not always true and how they differ from identity
- We need to push ourselves to do things that make us uncomfortable to build our confidence
- People stop learning as adults, but why we must
- To focus on one major goal that impacts all areas of your life and how he's done it for himself
Purchase his book on Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
