ReThinking · How to challenge your self-limiting beliefs with Shawn Achor · 4 Aug 2026 podcast

So I went, it's basically everything, right?

Which became, for me, hard to write the book because it's so unwieldy now.

It's now all of psychology, philosophy, and politics.

So that was too much to take on.

But I think that the middle ground there is that we need to open up our...

willingness to understand what belief is.

So in the book, I highlight these seven beliefs that I think of them that are some of the most productive.

I think there's ones that I missed, honestly, and that you just couldn't fit into a book.

One of those is change is possible.

That didn't get into the book.

I felt like I wrote about that before happiness, which was a previous book I had.

And so I didn't write about them, but that's a big one.

But the beliefs I think

are universal, are the beliefs that my behavior matters, that I'm not alone, I matter, this work is meaningful, I have something to give, I have something to be grateful for, and that there's something greater than me.

And I think that those beliefs are much wider than the net of just politics or religion.

I think that's right.

And if change is impossible, well, then what are we doing, right?

Why would we listen to a podcast, right?

Why would I read a book?

Why would I write a book if I didn't believe that change is possible?
