Dr. Gena Gorlin is a clinical psychologist at UT Austin whose goal is to raise the ceiling on human potential. I sat down with her to discuss how @ChatGPTapp has become a key tool in her quest for radical self-betterment. In this episode, she feeds ChatGPT a list of her old journal entries, and it conducts the most thorough and insightful annual review and goal-setting session you’ve ever seen: It writes a personal biography for her, unpacking themes and key questions from each year of her life It helps her plan her year for 2024, aligning her focus and helping set goals It allows her to see her own blindspots and avoid common failure modes It predicts what the year might have in store for her It helps her be more ambitious and reach higher for the things she wants Ultimately, it acts as both a mirror and mentor for her—one that’s always on, responds instantly, and can take on any personality or psychological modality that she needs. It’s a mind-bending example of how ChatGPT can unlock your potential. If you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share! Want more?
