Are you an “introvert” or an “extrovert?”
Well, what if I told you the answer didn’t matter?
Because the truth, according to science, is we aren’t innately introverted or extroverted.
Instead, you can choose who you want to be, reinvent your personality, and even heal past traumas — regardless of what some personality test says.
I invited one of my heroes, Dr. Benjamin Hardy, to teach us exactly how.
He’s an organizational psychologist who’s work has been read by over 100 million people and has been featured in Forbes, Fortune, CNBC, Inc., and Psychology Today.
In fact, his work completely transformed my life; I read his bestselling book, Willpower Doesn’t Work, in April 2019.
Two months later, I sold most of my stuff, took a one-way ticket to Europe, and lived here ever since while running my business.
He also just released a new book, Personality Isn’t Permanent, which could be one for the ages.
If you’ve ever wanted to achieve big things in your life, you’ll enjoy this interview.
In this episode, Dr. Hardy talks about:
- Why it’s problematic to focus so much on your “personality type” and how it prevents you from changing your personality
- The real way to overcome painful traumas and actually heal yourself
- Why Ben’s wife and him almost didn’t get married because of a personality test
- How Tucker Max’s advice transformed the writing of Personality Isn’t Permanent and the key sentence Tucker actually wrote in the book
- The powerful strategies to move closer to your future self
- What Ben would have changed about his book Personality Isn’t Permanent knowing what he knows now
- The two super simple action steps you can do TODAY to take a huge leap towards becoming the person you want to be
