Who are you VS. Who do you want to be? - How to align your actions with your desires
Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement
Narrow wants to match daily actions
Sam advises aligning long-term ambitions with enjoyable, repeatable daily behaviours for sustainable success.
We can try all the things: new habits, different mindsets, therapy, medication, or god save us... self-help books.
Yet to no ones surprise: we don't wake up a different person, we don't start doing all the things we keep saying we will eventually do, we don't even lose weight...
What is the deal? Are we broken? Is there a way to fix ourselves?
It all comes down to a single question.
Who are you VS. Who do you want to be?
Thoroughly confused, conflicted and curious. Sam sets out into the realms of psychology and philosophy to consider motivation from different angles.
