Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement

The Life-Changing Magic of Actually Doing Stuff - Start 2025 Right


Listen Later

Stop Dreaming, Start Doing - Action is more important than planning.


We are increasingly addicted to planning yet more and more allergic to doing.


Get your ducks in a row this year as we learn about the psychology behind our goals and dreams and what it takes to knuckle down, make some hard decisions and start taking action.


We discuss some key concepts:

  • What is our real work
  • The problem with motivation and aspirations
  • Waiting for life to blow us in the right direction
  • 4 Burners theory

  • Sam also shares his own results, including the failures and successes behind taking bigger leaps and focusing on your main goals.
