Have you ever taken a personality assessment? You know, the Myers-Briggs, DISC, or Enneagram tests that are supposed to tell us about who we are and fit us neatly into a predetermined category? Well, today’s guest, Dr. Benjamin Hardy, has a very different take on personality testing. In his new book, Personality Isn’t Permanent, he explores why these tests go against science and psychology, shape your identity in dangerous ways, and prevent us from living up to our true potential. Today, Dr. Hardy joins the podcast to talk about the danger of accepting labels from others, why it’s time to do away with outdated personality tests, and how to stop living in the past and set a foundation for a hopeful future.   Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit HalElrod.com/327 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

Avoiding stress and conflict when we’re struggling is a natural reflex for many of us. Whether it’s in our relationships, businesses, or family, avoiding stress and conflict is a common reaction. Ignoring the things we’re struggling with might help us feel better in the moment, but more often, we limit our progress in countless ways by not tackling our problems directly. In this episode, I’m sharing the three simple steps in which you can shift your perspective on tough situations. These steps have been transformational to me in helping me beat cancer, rebuild my marriage, and regain control of my finances. By integrating them into your daily life, you’ll not only stop running from your challenges, you’ll start to see them as opportunities for growth and learning.  The best part? With some practice, you’ll begin to view even your most challenging days as some of your best days ever. Because you chose to push forward, embracing growth over giving in to suffering and pain.

Do you ever find yourself thinking that your best years have passed you by? It’s a common reflection that many people have as they get older. However, this mindset can lead many people to lose sight of the positive aspects of life and to experience joy and fulfillment.  I’m very excited to share this conversation with Chip Conley. Chip is a bestselling author, entrepreneur, Co-Founder, and CEO of The Modern Elder Academy. His new book, Learning to Love Midlife, helps people understand the upside of aging instead of only focusing on the negatives. In this episode, Chip shares the 12 reasons why life gets richer, deeper, and infinitely more fulfilling as we age. Chip unpacks those reasons one by one, and you’ll see how they’re not just ideas but practical, actionable paths. You’ll learn how to navigate midlife transitions, find and refine your purpose with each passing year, and see aging not as a decline but as a profound opportunity to create the life you want and make the years that lie ahead your best ones yet.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  How our brains get surprisingly better with age Mindset is everything when it comes to aging gracefully Expectations minus reality = Disappointment   How coming to terms with our mortality pushes us to be present Wisdom isn’t a given with age Purpose is something you do, and something you live The purpose of life is to find your gift.
