Learn how to ask yourself better questions that can help you live with more purpose and happiness and reduce feelings of anxiety and frantic switching and searching.
We are all told to be more in the present and live in the NOW. Yet we forget that we are constantly obsessed with short-term thinking and need to look at the bigger picture to understand the present moment better.
On the growth mindset with Sam Webster Harris, we explore the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, and purpose. Why they can be hard to find and how to build them through a process of self-reflection combined with an honest assessment of what is holding us back and what is driving us forward. Success and happiness is a state of mind unique to ourselves and is our responsibility to create.
