The Paradox of Genius: How To Be A Remarkably Unbalanced Individual

Let's talk about Power Moves - Lethal Combinations of traits that can unlock your full potential Most of us have strengths and with each strength is a corresponding weakness. Says who? History has shown time and time again that embodying seemingly contradictory traits can result in outsized success. We look at the weaknesses we accept and how to overcome the fixed mindset, break out of our natural blockers, and become a spikey, unbalanced individual with additive strengths. Balancing lessons from history and psychology we go on a tour of the most common and powerful opposing strengths that can be turned into an unstoppable combination when harnessed correctly. We also explore: How to identify your ideal strength combination Tools to work on weaknesses from different angles How neurodiversity and personality disorders can be harnessed as strengths Embracing instead of fighting your weaknesses Upgrade to Premium: 🏖️ Ad-free listening 🤘 Support the show 🔓 Exclusive AMAs and bonus content 💬 Community Discord GrowthMindset.Supercast.com Sponsors: 🥙 😋 Factor: 50% off - code GROWTHMINDSET50 - FactorMeals.com/GrowthMindset50 🔗 🐷 PorkBun: .PRO domain for $1 - code BeAPro24 - PorkBun.com/GrowthMindset24 Related Episodes 7 Wierd Life-Changing Skills: That will make you happier - 19th July 2024 How To Build Free Will and Self-control: Determine your outcomes in life - 06th Aug 2024 The Neuroscience of a Growth Mindset: Learning and behaviour change - 30th July 2024 Meet Sam Free Call - Schedule Link Growth Mindset Psychology: Sam Webster explores the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement.
