Episode Description

“I prefer the future predicting my behavior rather than my past, I think that’s a more intentional way to live than being on autopilot.”

- Dr. Benjamin Hardy

There comes a time in every new podcasters life when you get that first “dream” guest… we have our first one TODAY, Dr. Benjamin Hardy!

The first time I came across Benjamin's work I was struck by it, it resonated, held truth, and recognized the "human" in the process of growth and transformation and how that can work for us rather than against us. There was something special about this guy and the courage and authenticity with which he was showing up to the world. I can joyfully say that finally meeting him confirmed all that. You've probably stumbled upon his work somewhere - thru his articles/blog (read in places like Forbes, Big Think, The Ladders, Inc. by over 100 million people), his book Willpower Doesn't Work, and his TedX talks (check out the 100% rule).

Today, Benjamin releases his new book Personality Isn't Permanent and I promise you, this book is a game changer. His premiss? Forget about what and who personality tests tell you you are, you are not limited by that. In fact, we are not limited by our traumas, our past, where we are today, the people in our lives, our perceived "identity"... none of it. His invitation? It's time to create your future self, and in doing so, release yourself from all that limitation.

Given that Jill and I coined the phrase PlayCreate Forward, you can imagine that we love this book and have a lot of alignment with Benjamin on this. We love that this book is an actual guide to the steps you can take to start living into your future self - he doesn't just talk about the way, he shows you the way. I believe this book has significant value in the context of the major transformation we are universally undergoing right now. Will be curious what you think on this!

Ready to stop overvaluing your current identity and personality so you can step into something that will bring you so much more joy and transformation? Today's podcast is for you.

Ready for this week's challenge? It's all about doing some work with your future self. THIS IS REALLY POWERFUL STUFF! Listen in to learn how.
