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.

How To Ditch Self-Blame with LaYinka Sanni
About LaYinka
LaYinka Sanni is a self-transformation expert who has been supporting women to transform their lives from the inside out for over 5 years.
She started her journey in the client seat for Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) therapy, and after seeing and feeling the beauty that came from her overcoming overwhelm, ditching self-blame, and embracing her God-given worth, she stepped into her calling to motivate and empower other selfless and dedicated women to find themselves again and show up in the world as they were created to be.
Through classes, programmes, workshops, podcasts, and talks she’s given over the last 5 years, LaYinka delivers her message from and with heart — real, raw, and deep — with the aim for her audience to not be wowed, but to be inspired to make movement in their lives and bring about positive change.
As well as being a mum of 3 and a wife, LaYinka is also a co-host on an ever-growing online show, ‘Honest Tea Talk’, where she and two friends bring pertinent topics to the table and discuss them openly and honestly. On the show, LaYinka is known to drop what viewers have dubbed #LaYinkaLines, otherwise known as truth bombs.
As the CEO of her company that thrives on working from the heart, LaYinka's programmes are grounded in the belief that every woman is valuable and has what she needs to shine brightly; and it's LaYinka's mission to bring women home to themselves so they can fulfil their greatest potential. As a passionate and multifaceted woman, LaYinka's energy commands attention, and her words, rooted in care and love, move women to take inspired action — big and small — and this is the LaYinka edge.
On this episode of My perfect Failure (How to Ditch Self-Blame) I am joined by LaYinka Sanni. LaYinka reveals once she asked herself the question: How would her children remember her if she died. This question led to LaYinka taking control of her life, ditching her crippling self-blame. Today LaYinka inspires women all over the world to ditch their own self-blame and to live their absolute best lives . Some of the areas we cover.
· Ditching self-blame
· The importance of refuelling
· Facing our hard truths will elicit the changes in our life we truly desire
· The quality of our life is based on the quality of questions we ask ourselves
