    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 Surprising Truth About Independence & Being Yourself Jul 05, 2024
    Show notes

    Standard Self-improvement advice is usually beige, unhelpful and often just wrong.


    We dive into the topic of "You are the 5 people you spend most time with" and learn where it is wrong and dangerous to follow. Instead, we learn a toolkit to be ourselves wherever we are and build relationships that nourish us.


    Lessons:

    • Where common advice falls short
    • Signs of toxic relationships blocking you from your potential
    • Signs of healthy relationships
    • Using the Growth Mindset to control your influences and outcomes
    • Seeking variety from your inputs
    • The dangers of conforming and group-think


    This episode holds a core mental-model for building a Growth Mindset and how to seek inspiration around you. Avoid getting caught in group-think or relationships that create Fixed Mindset thinking and be more yourself.

    4 Mindsets Proven To Radically Improve Your Life w/ Ryan Gottfredson Jul 02, 2024
    Show notes

    Research has shown 4 mindset pairs as recurring themes for success in life and leadership:

    • Fixed vs. Growth Mindset
    • Closed vs. Open Mindset
    • Prevention vs. Promotion Mindset
    • Inward vs. Outward Mindset


    By looking into the science of how these mindsets show up in our lives we can build a more robust approach to success and happiness. These mindsets affect how we show up, how easy we are to get on with, and our relationship with fear.

    Ryan Gottfredson PhD is a researcher, author and consultant who helps leaders develop their skills and success.

    He joins the show to discuss his research and work for his book on the mindsets for success for leaders and in all life.

    Life's Infinite Games: Understanding Our Choices & Playing By Our Rules Jun 26, 2024
    Show notes

    Practical Psychology for navigating life's challenges and cultivating joy.

    Sam Webster Harris explores the concept of life as a series of games, blending psychological insights with practical wisdom. He discusses how every aspect of life involves some form of gameplay, from professional networks like LinkedIn to personal decisions and social interactions.

    We dig into the intersection of Philosophy and Psychology to understand the experiencing self and how we navigate our moments.

    Sam emphasizes the importance of understanding the different 'modes' of approaching life's games—machine, intelligent, and zen. He advocates for living authentically, focusing on self-amusement, and challenging societal norms.

    Learn to apply some of the more surreal and abstract concepts of the mind into real life:

    • How to understand what game you are playing?
    • Establish what is really at stake
    • Define the rules for yourself to play your own game
    • Have more fun


    The episode encourages listeners to reassess their motivations and redefine what winning means in their personal game of life.

    Cognitive biases distort reality with good and bad results (like really bad).

    Today is a fun experiment where we combine Psychology and History. We learn about the 7 perception-based illusions of Cognitive Biases whilst applying them to the life of Napoleon.

    • Exposure Effect - How repetition makes us likes stuff
    • Baader-Meinhof Effect - Why we notice our car everywhere after we buy it
    • Placebo Effect - How to make your leg being cut off less awful
    • Illusion of Control - Why you can't roll dice
    • Clustering Illusion - How we spot patterns that don't exist

    How to break down complexity and build true understanding.

    Richard Feynman is a Nobel Prize-winning Physicist and is widely considered one of the greatest teachers ever.

    He invented the razor "If someone uses a lot of complexity and Jargon to explain something, they probably don’t understand it."

    His 4-step technique uncovers the gaps lurking in our knowledge so we can truly master something.
