Trying to do too much is overwhelming and we can learn faster by doing less. We learn how to have more success in our learning goals with a more tactical approach. Learning a new skill is so much fun in theory. Yet in reality, it involves doing hard things and being bad at stuff. We can really struggle to stay motivated and struggle to find the time to dedicate to being terrible at something. What if there was a different way that made things easier to start and yet the achievement more likely? There is. Skill breaks are one of the most useful concepts I've ever learnt and here I explain what they are and how to start learning more by having fun. - - - Sponsored by LinkedIn Jobs Create a free job posting in months on the world's #1 rated recruitment site for small businesses. https://www.linkedin.com/growth - - - Connect with Sam: Sam's newsletter on creativity and entrepreneurship - Explosive Thinking Support the Show - Patreon If you enjoyed the podcast please subscribe and rate it.

There is a mismatch between the idea when it is in the safe space of our mind and when we try to bring the idea into the world Most of our failures come down to a detachment from reality. This episode breaks down the psychological nature of ideas. Where the differeneces lie compared to the practicalities of life.

Relying on stress for productivity is a recipe for burnout. We can avoid burnout and increase our output when we optimise our mindsets. We can keep our mind firing on all cylinders through excitement and enjoyment instead of through stress and difficulty. We can learn faster and access more of our potential when we treat our brain like a brain instead of like a muscle. Brain training and mind workouts can be completely reframed to have a much bigger effect once we know what we are doing. - - - Connect with Sam: Join the conversation on the social podcast app - Podvine Sam's newsletter on creativity and entrepreneurship - Explosive Thinking Sam's podcast on books - Wiser Than Yesterday Support the Show - Patreon If you enjoyed the podcast please subscribe and rate it.

Finishing things is an art we need to take seriously. By digging into where we are blocked we can identify our problems with the task at hand and we might even gain a broader understanding of our purpose as well. This episode presents some alternative strategies to really help you identify good ideas and get things completed. Questions to reflect on: Which tasks do I reliably finish? Could some of them create value if I did more of them? What are my unfinished projects? What are the specific tasks within the project that I avoid? How can I make it more likely to complete the difficult task? (Make it smaller / delegate it / change the time / do it with others) Can I remove the difficult tasks entirely? Do I start things which I know I won’t finish and might be damaging? What is my goal in starting them? Is there a very different way to get there? How much time do I put into things I don’t have an interest in? If I look at my goals should I say no to these things? What are the best ideas I haven't done? Can I let go of perfect and treat them as a stepping stone? - - - Connect with Sam: Join the conversation on the social podcast app - Podvine Sam's newsletter on creativity and entrepreneurship - Explosive Thinking Sam's podcast on books - Wiser Than Yesterday Support the Show - Patreon If you enjoyed the podcast please subscribe and rate it.

We are often told we are the product of the 5 people we spend the most time with. This episode explores the cases where this isn't true and what we can learn from examining the relationships we have. We learn that actually, the most significant effect is from those that prevent us from being ourselves. Otherwise, we are free to choose the qualities we are inspired by regardless of how much time we spend with people. Questions to reflect on What are my strengths? When do I feel like I am being myself? I am putting my energy directly into the thing I want to do or is it postponed for some reason? Is there a faster way to reach the lifestyle I want? Who are my idols? Why do I look up to them? Could I have better idols? Who are 5 cool but very different friends to me, what would they tell me to do?

Takeaways * If you want to do something really meaningful, it will by definition almost always be hard. * Chase the things that challenge you – keep going and throwing yourself at things that seem impossible. * Mistakes are only that if you don’t learn from them, consider them learnings instead. * There will come a point in your business where you need to shift from “we’re all friends here” to a clear hierarchy with a well-defined structure. * Equally important to building your business is keeping in touch with people in the field and keeping them informed as to what you’re doing. - - - Connect with Roeland Decorte Future Industries (https://decorte.co.uk/) LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-roeland-p-j-e-decorte-340066185) Twitter (https://twitter.com/decortedr) - - - Growth Mindset podSam Webster Harris explores the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement.

Why Buddhism is True written by Robert Wright 'Why Buddhism is True' looks at the science and philosophy of meditation and enlightenment. Robert Wright is a devout non-meditating anger prone evolutionary psychologist and writer. He dives headlong into the world of meditation with surprising results, and explain why it works from an evolutionary standpoint. Robert Wright famously explained in The Moral Animal how evolution shaped the human brain. The mind is designed to often delude us, he argued, about ourselves and about the world. And it is designed to make happiness hard to sustain. But if we know our minds are rigged for anxiety, depression, anger, and greed, what do we do? Wright locates the answer in Buddhism, which figured out thousands of years ago what scientists are only discovering now. Buddhism holds that human suffering is a result of not seeing the world clearly—and proposes that seeing the world more clearly, through meditation, will make us better, happier people. In Why Buddhism is True, Wright leads readers on a journey through psychology, philosophy, and a great many silent retreats to show how and why meditation can serve as the foundation for a spiritual life in a secular age. With bracing honesty and fierce wisdom, it will persuade you not just that Buddhism is true—which is to say, a way out of our delusion—but that it can ultimately save us from ourselves, as individuals and as a species. - - - 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.
