My Perfect Failure

MPF Interview with Dr Benjamin Hardy
Personality and You
Ben provides fascinating insights into his fantastic new book - Personality Isn’t Permanent.
ABOUT Ben
Dr. Benjamin Hardy is an organizational psychologist and bestselling author of Willpower Doesn’t Work. His blogs have been read by over 100 million people and are featured on Forbes, Fortune, CNBC, Cheddar, Big Think, and many others. He is a regular contributor to Inc. and Psychology Today and from 2015-2018, he was the #1 writer, in the world, on Medium.com. He and his wife Lauren adopted three children through the foster system in February 2018 and, one month later, Lauren became pregnant with twins, who were born in December of 2018. They live in Orlando. ABOUT THE BOOK
Personality Isn’t Permanent.
Personality Isn’t Permanent debunks the pervasive myths of personality that have captured pop culture. For example, personality tests like Myers-Briggs and Enneagram are not only psychologically destructive but are no more scientific than horoscopes. Personality Isn’t Permanent provides science-based strategies for reframing past memories, becoming the scribe of your identity narrative, upgrading your subconscious, and redesigning your environment. When you know the truth of personality, desired personal change can be dramatic and directed. When you don’t, personality is something you seek to discover rather than create.
On this episode of My Perfect Failure we discuss Ben’s groundbreaking book
“Personality Isn’t Permanent” Some of the areas we cover
· We can change our Personality
· We should set goals based on our future self
· Ben explains why personality tests are not reliable
· We must have the belief that things can change
