Willpower Doesn't Work
Summary
We rely on willpower to create change in our lives...but what if we're thinking about it all wrong? In Willpower Doesn't Work, Benjamin Hardy explains that willpower is nothing more than a dangerous fad - one that is bound to lead to failure. Instead of "white-knuckling" your way to change, you need to instead alter your surroundings to support your goals. This book shows you how. The world around us is fast-paced, confusing, and full of distractions. It's easy to lose focus on what you want to achieve, and your willpower won't last long if your environment is in conflict with your goals - eventually the environment will win out. Willpower Doesn't Work is the needed guide for today's overstimulating and addicting environment. Willpower Doesn't Work will specifically teach you: How to make the biggest decisions of your life - and why those decisions must be made in specific settings How to create a daily "sacred" environment to live your life with intention and not get sucked into the cultural addictions How to invest big in yourself to upgrade your environment and mind-set How to put "forcing functions" in your life - so your default behaviors are precisely what you want them to be How to quickly put yourself in proximity to the most successful people in the world - and how to adapt their knowledge and skills to yourself even quicker How to create an environment where endless creativity and boundless productivity is the norm Benjamin Hardy will show you that nurture is far more powerful than your nature and teach you how to create and control your environment so your environment will not create and control you.

Personality Isn't Permanent
Summary
Psychologist and best-selling author Benjamin Hardy, PhD, debunks the pervasive myths about personality that prevent us from learning - and provides bold strategies for personal transformation. In Personality Isn’t Permanent, Dr. Benjamin Hardy draws on psychological research to demolish the popular misconception that personality - a person’s consistent attitudes and behaviors - is innate and unchanging. Hardy liberates us from the limiting belief that our “true selves” are to be discovered and shows how we can intentionally create our desired selves and achieve amazing goals instead. He offers practical, science-based advice to for personal-reinvention, including: Why personality tests such as Myers-Briggs and Enneagram are not only psychologically destructive, but are no more scientific than horoscopes Why you should never be the “former” anything - because defining yourself by your past successes is just as damaging to growth as being haunted by past failures How to design your current identity based on your desired future self and make decisions here and now through your new identity How to reframe traumatic and painful experiences into a fresh narrative supporting your future success How to become confident enough to define your own life’s purpose How to create a network of “empathetic witnesses” who actively encourage you through the highs and lows of extreme growth How to enhance your subconscious to overcome addictions and limiting patterns How redesign your environment to pull you toward your future, rather than keep you stuck in the past How to tap into what psychologists call “pull motivation” by narrowing your focus on a single, definable, and compelling outcome The audiobook includes true stories of intentional self-transformation - such as Vanessa O’Brien, who quit her corporate job and set the Guinness World Record for a woman climbing the highest peak on every continent in the fastest time; Andre Norman, who became a Harvard fellow after serving a 14-year prison sentence; Ken Arlen, who instantly quit smoking by changing his identity narrative; and Hardy himself, who transcended his childhood in a broken home, surrounded by issues of addiction and mental illness, to earn his PhD and build a happy family. Filled with strategies for reframing your past and designing your future, Personality Isn’t Permanent is a guide to breaking free from the past and becoming the person you want to be.
