15: Benjamin Hardy, PhD | Becoming His Future Self

Benjamin Hardy has written two bestselling books that I reference over and over and over. Paradigm shifting tools in the personal development world I literally recommend everyone read. First is, “Willpower Doesn’t Work” that dispels the myth we are supposed to just grit our teeth and withstand anything at all times. Then more recently, “Personality Isn’t Permanent” which dispels the myth that we all fit into a personality profile, which we get into some in this show. But of course here I dig into his story. You’ll hear how his ultra religious parents divorced, left their faith, his Dad became a drug addict and his mom ran a health club and he barely graduated high school with no skills, work ethic, or interest beyond playing video games. And then...what happened? How did he go from that, to the most read blogger on Medium will millions of readers, in a very short time? Then to a multi six figure book deal on his first real book.
