    Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement

    Most self-help advice is guesswork dressed up as wisdom. We dig into psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral science to find what actually changes lives.

    WHY LISTEN?

    Over 8 million downloads because we answer the questions that matter: How do I build mental strength? What creates lasting motivation? How can I understand my own mind well enough to work with it, not against it?

    This podcast is for curious skeptics who want frameworks backed by psychology studies, not Instagram quotes. Whether you’re navigating procrastination, building self-discipline, or designing your own philosophy for a life well lived—we explore the hidden psychology behind real change.

    WHAT YOU’LL GET

    Mental models and simple techniques from cognitive psychology, positive psychology, and ancient wisdom traditions like Stoicism and Buddhism.

    Being a human can be confusing, learning about it doesn’t have to be.

    We cover everything from emotional intelligence and habit formation to brain health and the nervous system.

    WHAT YOU DON’T GET

    No pseudoscience. No oversimplified “hacks.” No hustle porn.

    Just practical insights on mindset improvement, self-development, and human psychology that respect your intelligence and mental health.

    THE APPROACH

    Instead of telling you what to think, we explore how thinking works. Armed with psychology studies, social science research, and relentless curiosity, we uncover the mechanics of belief change, attitude change, and personal development.

    Success is personal. You might want to leverage your neurodiverse strengths, build a business, or simply discover how to be happier. We provide the mental frameworks to pursue your definition of success with mental strength and self-care that fits your life.

    YOUR HOST

    I’m Sam Webster Harris—a lifelong learner with ADHD and an obsession with finding answers to hard questions. After launching businesses, traveling the world, and nearly dying a few times, I concluded that psychology and science are where real wisdom lives.

    This show is my excuse to dive deep into health and fitness research, behavioral psychology, and cool science while helping you build genuine self-discipline and motivation.

    The Life-Changing Magic of Actually Doing Stuff - Start 2025 Right Jan 03, 2025
    Show notes

    Stop Dreaming, Start Doing - Action is more important than planning.


    We are increasingly addicted to planning yet more and more allergic to doing.


    Get your ducks in a row this year as we learn about the psychology behind our goals and dreams and what it takes to knuckle down, make some hard decisions and start taking action.


    We discuss some key concepts:

    • What is our real work
    • The problem with motivation and aspirations
    • Waiting for life to blow us in the right direction
    • 4 Burners theory


    Sam also shares his own results, including the failures and successes behind taking bigger leaps and focusing on your main goals.

    10 Powerful Stoic Questions: Review Your Year and Refocus your Life Dec 31, 2024
    Show notes

    What does it mean to live a good life?


    The Stoics were the masters of asking the right questions to focus the mind on what's important.


    At the year's end, it's a perfect time to reflect on who you've been this year and who you want to be going forward.


    We juggle multiple priorities and hectic demands, so it's easy to get lost in the day-to-day. Today's episode will combine Psychology with Stoicism as we ask the most important questions we can of ourselves to help direct our lives in the direction we want them to take.


    Topics include:

    • Turning obstacles into opportunity
    • Overcoming the fears that hold us back
    • Simplifying our life
    • Walking the walk
    • Taking control of our responsibilities.


    Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul: Inner peace comes from self-awareness and reflection"

    Journey vs Destination: How to Optimise For The Right Things In Life Dec 27, 2024
    Show notes

    Why do we get off track, and how do we get back on track?


    Humans love goals, but where do our goals come from?


    How much do we choose them vs. have them chosen for us...


    We learn how to stop working towards destinations that look good to others.


    Instead, we dissect what makes a good goal that creates a journey we want to go on.


    Topics include:

    • The reality of aspirational destinations
    • Focussing on the journeys of your life
    • A healthy relationship with money
    • How to stay motivated
    • The rule of thirds


    As we learn more about appreciating the road less travelled and what a good life means to us we can step back from the frenetic distractions and occupations to think about what really matters.


    As the famous saying goes "It's just another cold dark night on the side of Everest" - Sometimes our goals feel boring in the day-to-day and we lose sight of the big picture. Remember there is something worth fighting for.

    The Psychology of Buddy the Elf ☃️❄️🎅 Dec 20, 2024
    Show notes

    The science behind spreading Christmas cheer and getting people to like you.


    Not only is Elf a wonderfully silly and enjoyable Christmas movie. Its premise is based on a fascinating concept that can be explored using psychology.


    What happens when an adult is raised by elves?


    Not only do we get to revisit a great story but we can learn about:

    • Attachment Theory
    • Identity Development
    • Social Contagion and spreading good vibes
    • Family Systems
    • Nuerodivergence and upbringing effects
    • The psychology of Jor and Wonder


    A great way to learn some science and develop your own sense of curiosity and wonder is to dive headfirst down rabbit holes of psychology and overly analyse movies for the sheer hell of it.


    It's a great movie and there's lots to learn about ourselves, Christmas and happiness when we look beyond the candy canes and maple syrup.

    Self-Help Vs. Real-Help: How to Actually Improve Your Life Dec 17, 2024
    Show notes

    What does psychology say about the role of information in building wisdom and lasting change in our lives?


    There is an explosion in self-help content. From gurus on Tik Tok to 85,000 self-help books being published a year. But what actually works?


    This episode explores the psychology of learning and how to put information into practice:

    • How to identify time-wasting nonsense?
    • 3 steps to build a healthy content diet
    • The best forms of content for retention and lasting changes?
    • Take home strategy to build deeper wisdom


    You'll come away with an improved growth mindset that doesn't fall for promises of instant results and is ready to put time and effort into cultivating wisdom instead of consuming it.

    The Psychology of FOMO - Why it's Getting Worse and What To Do About It Dec 13, 2024
    Show notes

    Modern technology amplifies our fear and emotions. FOMO is on the rise.


    Whether you are worried about being invited to a party, checking social media, or finding it harder to make decisions.


    FOMO is increasingly driving our emotions and actions. It is a deeply natural feeling built into us through hundreds of thousands of years of evolution. But it hasn't kept up with our incredible pace of technological change.


    Part of the reason we have such a decline in mental health is we can compare ourselves to the perfect lives all around us in the digital world and feel we don't stack up.


    This episode will help you understand what's really going on:

    • The evolutionary roots of FOMO
    • How our modern world is making us anxious
    • Why ADHD is on the rise
    • Where to take back our focus
    • What to celebrate and look up to.

    Free Will and the War Against Our Minds - Are We Becoming NPCs? Dec 06, 2024
    Show notes

    The Psychology of the 5 Types of Non-Player Characters - How to Fix Them and Be a Main Character Thinker.


    The same story plays out online every day. The same people are getting outraged about the same things again and again. Like Clockwork.


    The human brain is highly optimised to rely on heuristics and simplistic decisions. Modern media hijacks this system to control our beliefs and emotions based on the agenda of other people.


    This episode helps listeners build autonomy over their beliefs and emotions by learning the different types of Non-Player-Character:

    1. The Conformist NPC - Believes the consensus politically correct ideas
    2. The Contrarian NPC - Believes the opposite of the consensus and seeks conspiracy
    3. The Disciple NPC - Believes their preferred leader
    4. The Tribalist NPC - Follows the tribe and us vs them mentality
    5. The Averager NPC - Seeks the middle ground without understanding the merits of an argument.


    Learn the psychology of the processes behind each NPC type and how different types of critical thinking systems or defence systems get turned on and off based simply on who delivers the message.


    Building your own worldview is one of the most important things you can do in an increasingly confusing and polarised world.

    How To Be More Interesting Dec 03, 2024
    Show notes

    The surprising techniques to be more yourself - that also make you more interesting.


    There are endless self-help books and blogs about how to increase your charisma. In the same way you can increase your sales skills by following a checklist but there is something fake about it.


    Instead, we look at little-known ways you can naturally get better at being yourself. We can then expand on our own natural tendencies and be more interesting to the people we are inherently interested in.


    Some lessons in the episode:

    • Increasing the depth of your interests
    • Stop trying to 'fit in' to other peoples standards
    • Prioritise your areas of effort
