Let’s talk about a powerful concept that I’ve discovered after years of working hard on my personal growth and mastering different subjects, from maths to languages to meditation to writing.
This is my Law of Proportional Reward, and it applies to all areas of personal growth, whether it’s career, relationships, finances, spirituality, or indeed learning.
It even explains our levels of fulfilment and zest for life. We tend to think that a comfortable, easy life is what we want. This law turns that idea on its head.
I’ve had this concept built into my psychology for a long time, but only recently have I realised that it drives many of my positive personal growth habits and explains my negative ones.
If you want to experience positive gains in any area of life, you simply need to know – nay, live and breathe – my Law of Proportional Reward.

This is the Sunday Sit with Deep Psychology.
In July, we get together every Sunday at 8pm CET, 7pm UK, 2pm Eastern and practice a new meditation technique together.
I encourage you to practice today's technique every day until next Sunday, and to continue this habit for the entire month to get a proper taste of this work.
Here I explain how to do shadow work. You'll learn a simple but remarkably powerful 4-step technique for reintegrating any shadow trait.
With this method, you can feel your shadow being regurgitated and reintegrated into your conscious self, and the wholeness and fullness that results from it.
Next listen: How to Reown Your Repressed Anger (#37); What is the Shadow? (#96); How to Do Shadow Work (#94)

Could the conservative side of you be preventing you from taking action? Do you believe that growth is possible or that you’re bound to be a certain way forever?
In this episode, we’ll unpack a crucial concept for self-mastery: that of the growth mindset and fixed mindset.
These two mentalities guide how we view ourselves and our abilities. Knowledge of them will help you identify when you’re shooting yourself in the foot and enable you to make empowering changes.

You cannot flourish in life without self-control.
Here I share the secrets of SELF-CONTROL and the crucial role it plays in your self-transformation. I'm going to help you overcome those dog-like desires for good.
Here you'll learn:
– what self-control is:
– what self-control is not! (hint: it is not Puritanism)
– the scientific basis for it
– the pernicious effects a lack of it has on your life (scary)
– 5 strategies for developing crazy-high levels of self-control.
I’ve experienced self-control as a snowball effect. The more bad habits I eliminate and the more I delay gratification, the easier it is for me to do so.

Let's learn about magical thinking, carefully tease it apart from deep psychological insight, and discuss how to healthily integrate it.
Know that we all pass through a Magical period in our early childhood, the Magic stage of development, and come out the other end at age 4 or 5.
From then, all the way through adult life, our relationship to magical thinking can go one of two ways: we become completely allergic to it and be unable to consciously integrate any of it, or we remain addicted to it.
In spiritual communities and personal-development circles, I often see an addiction to magic and a basic inability to really understand what magical thinking is and why it's fundamentally flawed in very mundane ways.
Our goal as growing people is to skillfully integrate magical thinking into our psyche, and that's our goal in this episode.
The result? Re-enchantment of our world, a connection to mystery and wonder, and a new psychological empowerment. Enjoy.
