Episode notes

I think that all human beings are driven by whatever they're trying to accomplish. But when it comes to measuring yourself, you could conceivably accomplish all sorts of goals and still be unhappy. It's more a matter if you're comparing yourself in this way with your former self, you can actually be happy. And so in my opinion, not only does it enhance happiness, tat it would actually enhance confidence.

Organizational psychologist Benjamin Hardy, Ph.D. (author, Who Not How) shares his insights on how shifting your mindset can lead to both happiness and better results. He and Greg discuss the importance of gratitude and confidence when measuring yourself, the need for clearly defined goals, and the value of others in navigating for success.
