  • S2E3: EXERCISE: The surprising simplicity of 10X growth

    Ready to go from thinking 10x to living 10x?

    In this “What About You?” episode, we do the exercise for Chapter 1 and take our first real steps into exponential thinking.

    We talk about:

    • How to define a goal so big it scares you (in a good way)
    • Why it’s smarter to delete 80 % than to add 20 %
    • The fears that show up when you start dreaming bigger
    • How to anchor your 10x vision in daily actions
    • And why starting before you feel ready is the only way forward

    It’s personal, practical, and the perfect place to begin your own 10x journey.

  • S2E2: The surprising simplicity of 10X growth - why the 2x mindset is the enemy of results

    What if your next big leap felt impossible, and you did it anyway?

    In this week's episode we explore why the first step toward exponential growth is daring to dream beyond logic and acting as if it’s already happening.

    We talk about:

    • The illusion of safety (and why comfort keeps you stuck in 2X)
    • Letting go of 80% of what you do (yes, really!)
    • The mindset shift from how to who
    • Why big goals create clarity, not chaos
    • What happens when you start living your 10X identity before it’s real

    Welcome to the start of seeing growth in a whole new way!

  • S2E1: 10X is the opposite of what you've been told

    What if one book chapter made you question everything - your work, your goals, even the language you speak?

    In this first English episode of BookBright, we unpack the introduction of 10x is Easier than 2x by Dan Sullivan & Dr. Benjamin Hardy and how it completely changed the direction of our podcast (and lives).

    We talk about:
    • The real difference between 2x and 10x – and why “doing more” is not the answer
    • Letting go of 80 % of what you do to make space for what truly matters
    • Fear, freedom, and identity shifts – the inside game of growth
    • And why Leonardo DiCaprio’s words might be the ultimate 10x quote

    We also share the moment we realised we had to drop our Swedish podcast mid-launch, start over in English, and follow the very principle the book teaches: act before you feel ready.

  • Welcome to BookBright!

    Welcome to BookBright, the podcast  where personal growth isn’t something you just read about. It’s something you live.

    Each week we explore a book that has changed lives around the world, one chapter at a time. We talk about self-image, habits, relationships, purpose and so much more in combination with the real-life lessons that come from putting ideas into action.

    We reflect, question, and share what happens when you take the words off the page and invite them into your own life.

    In this episode, you’ll learn what to expect from our episodes, who we are, and how you can join in, whether you’re reading along or just listening.

    So grab your headphones, make yourself a cup of tea, maybe add a piece of chocolate, and meet us between the lines - one book at a time.

    Sofia & Marielle

  • S1E14: Känn dig framgångsrik innan resultaten är här

    Kan man känna sig framgångsrik innan något “har hänt”? I det här avsnittet pratar vi om hur du kan skapa och förstärka en inre känsla av framgång som i sin tur driver rätt beteenden och beslut.

    Vi pratar om vad visualisering egentligen handlar om, varför du inte behöver vänta på yttre bevis för att känna dig stolt, och hur en stark inre känsla kan fungera som en magnet för det liv du vill leva.

    Vad händer när allt ställs på ända och hur kan du ändå välja ett kreativt förhållningssätt? I det här avsnittet pratar vi om skillnaden mellan att reagera och agera, och hur ett nytt tankesätt kan göra dig mer kapabel även mitt i kaos.

    Vi pratar om kontrollbehov, livets oväntade svängar och hur man bygger motståndskraft genom att förändra sin inre berättelse. Ett avsnitt för dig som vill hitta fotfästet igen på ett helt nytt sätt.

  • S1E12: Inre lugn på beställning, dina egna mentala mediciner

    I det här avsnittet pratar vi om hur du kan skapa din egen “inre medicinlåda” med mentala strategier som hjälper dig att återfå lugn, närvaro och självkontroll.

    Vi reflekterar kring hur stressresponsen aktiveras i vardagen, varför vissa ord, bilder och minnen kan lugna oss direkt, och hur du tränar hjärnan till att skapa lugn snarare än panik.

    Ett avsnitt om att möta livet med större inre stabilitet även när kaoset pågår runt omkring.

  • S1E11: Släpp loss din verkliga personlighet

    Vem är du bakom dina roller? I det här avsnittet pratar vi om vikten av autenticitet och vad som faktiskt hindrar oss från att leva som oss själva.


    Vi pratar om prestationsroller, rädslan för att ta plats och vad som händer när vi börjar lita på vår egen kompass. Ett avsnitt om frihet, mod och att börja leva i linje med din verkliga personlighet.
