    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.

    204: Less is more Feb 15, 2022
    Show notes

    Chris Lovett Chris Lovett is a minimalist, speaker, career mentor, professional executive coach, podcast host, simplicity coach, disruptive thought leader, and author of the bestselling self sufficiency, green living and business motivation book Discovery of Less. Also retired hip hop & rnb DJ, music geek with big hair and voted 'best legs 1998' at a college 5-a-side football tournament.


    Chris is one of the UK's only motivational speakers (and kinda hilarious one too) on minimalism and the less is progress lifestyle. His minimalist storytelling and the timing of it resonates deeply across personal and professional lives as he share his crazy story behind selling off, donating, recycling and discarding everything he ever owned and walking away from the security of a 'successful' career. You could say he was consumed by stuff - or stuffocated!


    Plus he talk about the incredible positive impact and psychology behind decluttering, our relationship and attachment with stuff and the 'always on' mentality. The words of his experiences and teachings have touched thousands of lives in over 50 countries and have been featured on prominent lifestyle platforms such as No Sidebar, Minimalism Life and Optimal Living Daily. He have talked at festivals, wellbeing events, financial institutions and consultancy firms across the UK and beyond!

    202: Systems Thinking Applied To Mindsets - Tessa Clarke, CEO of OLIO Feb 01, 2022
    Show notes

    Tessa Clarke Tessa is a startup founder who thrives in challenging environments, and has a strong track record of driving change. She grew up on a farm and knows how much hard work goes into producing the food we all eat, and absolutely 'hates' throwing it away. When she was moving country and the removal men said she has to bin their food, she couldn't do it and it was when the OLIO app was born.


    OLIO is now helping save millions of food items from being thrown away. It's also changing peoples relationships with food and increasing connections with neighbours. And they are just getting started! Tessa is a systems thinker and despite facing massive challenges against her, she has been able to positively shift the mindsets of people to create positive change in the world.


    Tessa is truly an inspiration and in this episode we could only touch on some of the brilliance of her thoughts and how she goes about changing herself and the world.

    201: Perfectionism and Celebrating Our Wins - Sam Harris Jan 21, 2022
    Show notes

    Perfectionism and Celebrating Your Wins Most of us are trying to be perfect and set high standards that are likely we could not meet and maybe even get disappointed with ourselves because we could not meet the expectations at all. Some of us create many big goals and focus on the destination rather than the small and significant steps we need to take to get us there. In this episode, we will talk about perfectionism and celebrating our wins.

    Takeaways

    * If you want to do something really meaningful, it will by definition almost always be hard.

    * Chase the things that challenge you – keep going and throwing yourself at things that seem impossible.

    * Mistakes are only that if you don’t learn from them, consider them learnings instead.

    * There will come a point in your business where you need to shift from “we’re all friends here” to a clear hierarchy with a well-defined structure.

    * Equally important to building your business is keeping in touch with people in the field and keeping them informed as to what you’re doing.

    We often hear the "New Year, New You" phrases as every new year comes. And in this episode, Sam conveyed improving in a more holistic approach. Takeaways You might have already written down your plans that you want to do or change this year, but we should also be open to things that may arise and haven't thought of happening. From the list of plans you have for this year, pick one thing/s that scares you and try doing those.
