Benjamin Hardy (@BenjaminPHardy) is an organizational psychologist and author of Willpower Doesn't Work: Discover the Hidden Keys to Success and Personality Isn't Permanent: Break Free from Self-Limiting Beliefs and Rewrite Your Story. What We Discuss with Benjamin Hardy: Why treating the results of a "scientific" personality test like Myers & Briggs or Enneagram as gospel is akin to trusting horoscopes to safely guide your life decisions -- inaccurate and potentially dangerous. Hear the story about how Benjamin and his wife almost didn't get married because a personality test indicated they weren't an ideal match. What looking back at the person you were 10 or 20 years ago should reveal about personality as an unfixed, malleable quality. Why categorizing yourself or accepting labels leads to a tunnel vision of mindlessness that tends to accentuate the negative qualities you believe yourself to have. You're always a work in progress -- you're never "finished." The person you'll be in 10 years may well be as different as you are from the person you were 10 years ago. So who do you want the future you to be? And much more...

There’s a part of the human dynamic we all share, which is the need to define ourselves and to create an identity. This set of personal beliefs is what ultimately makes us who we are. These beliefs are created as a result of all kinds of experiences we have in life… From growing up in a small farming town to a big city. From being raised by a single parent as an only child, or in a large family. To being bullied in school or one of the popular kids. And as we grow older as adults, this process doesn’t stop. It continues… We might take a personality test that tells us we’re an introvert… Or you might use your astrological profile to justify some of your behaviors, actions, or decisions. And while it’s critical that we do seek an identity, what’s really important to understand, is that the identity you ultimately create is not a result of what happens to you, or when or where you were born, but that it’s completely under your control. Ultimately, your identity is nothing more than the collection of stories you’ve created about yourself and accepted as true. And those stories are changeable. The nerd in school can become the tech billionaire. The single child from an abusive family can become a loving parent to many children. A poor kid from the hood can become a celebrity business tycoon. And an introvert can build an audience of millions of fans, and use their voice to change the world. You can let these stories define you, or you can define the stories. How? Well that’s what we’re going to talk about today with our guest, Benjamin Hardy. Ben has spent the past few years studying personality types, identities, and the processes by which we create our personal beliefs. These beliefs determine our expectations and our actions. And our expectations and actions, ultimately determine the kind of life we live. If you want to change your life, you have to start by changing the beliefs you hold about yourself. This is one of the most important interviews you’ll ever hear, so without further ado, please help me welcome, Benjamin Hardy.

Benjamin Hardy believes people can change in both big and small ways, but not how they've traditionally been taught. He thinks that "you are who you are because of your environment." If you want to change, Ben says, you need to change your environment. Listen as he talks about why this is true, how people always learn to adapt, even in the worst environments, and his new book that was just released today, Willpower Doesn't Work: Discover the Hidden Keys to Success.

"If you have to use willpower, it's because you actually haven't made a choice yet." -Benjamin Hardy What We Discuss with Benjamin Hardy: Your personality doesn't shape your behavior; your behavior shapes your personality.
