430: Is Personality Permanent with Benjamin Hardy

Is Personality Permanent?
with Benjamin Hardy


Have you ever taken an online personality test? Myers-Briggs, Kolbe or the "Big 5"? If you have, you no-doubt read the results with both pleasure and unease. Am I really a pushover? Am I more neurotic than most? It's true past behavior is probably the best predictor of your future self - but it doesn't have to be.

The guest psychologist on this week's show dispels the myth that personality is fixed and unchangeable, and suggests strategies for creating a new future for who you are, personality-wise, that is not bound by the past.

Listen & Learn:

  • Why proception, the ability to dream and plan for the future, even future emotional states, is a huge part of what makes us uniquely human
  • How to measure the gain (not the gap) from who you were and who you are
  • How to look for past evidence of who you'd like to be not evidence of the smaller you
  • The importance of a growth vs fixed mindset
