Growth Mindset: Psychology of self-improvement
Education:Self-Improvement
Do you feel like you're constantly juggling too many things? Like you're always busy, but never accomplishing anything meaningful?
In this episode, we're talking about the importance of doing less. We'll discuss why it's so important to focus on our priorities and to say no to things that don't matter. We'll also provide practical insights and real-life examples to help you reshape your approach to self-improvement and achieving success.
Join us as we draw inspiration from a 7,000-mile coastal hike, where the value of focusing on one major goal becomes crystal clear. We'll explore how spreading ourselves too thin can lead to burnout and hinder our true talents. Discover the wisdom of embracing minimalism, prioritizing progress over perfection, and finding joy in the simplicity of life.
So, if you're ready to cut through the noise, master your energy, and walk the path of purpose, hit that play button and embark on a journey toward doing less but accomplishing more.

On the growth mindset podcast with Sam Webster Harris, we explore the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement. Success and happiness is a state of mind unique to ourselves and is our responsibility to create.
Through a process of honest self-reflection of what is holding us back and what is driving us forward, we can lose the ego and build awareness of how to be the best we can be.
