How about then how to live life without your identity making you unhappy?

How about then how to live life without your identity making you unhappy?

Yeah, we, I, we are very quick to fall into the trap of thinking we are what we did. And that's, I much prefer I am what I do because that means that I have agency to make a different decision in the moment, irrespective of what I did in the past. But that's the trap we fall into.

In 10 minutes time, I bet I'll be downstairs and I'll be back into the trap of thinking that I am Stephen Bartlett who did this thing for 32 years or did, you know, Lisa, thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you for everything that you do. You've changed my mind in a really profound way. And that's quite hard because I sit here quite a lot.

So I have lots of conversations about the brain and about lots of new studies that have come out, et cetera, et cetera. But you've completely changed my mind and made me think in a completely different way, which I'm really grateful for. So thank you so much because that's a gift. And that's not a gift that I always get doing this job, but it really is a gift.

And it's one that I think will help me to live a better life ultimately, but hopefully also for everybody that's listening. And thank you for stepping into the public communication side of your life because I was going to say it's someone that knows what you know and that has done the work that you've done.

It is so important to the extent that I almost consider it to be like a really critical responsibility because there's people like us that sit on these podcasts who aren't in the laboratory, that are getting our information from social media, TikTok, or any odd person that says anything. And it's really, really important that people like you step out more and share what you know.

And thank you so much for writing these books because they are absolutely brilliant and And just like you've changed my mind today, I think these books will change a lot of people's lives. I highly recommend this book, How Emotions Are Made. I'm going to link it below, The Secret Life of the Brain.

And also for something a little bit shorter, but equally accessible, this book here, Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. I'm going to let you into a little bit of a secret.

You're probably going to think me and my team are a little bit weird, but I can still remember to this day when Jemima from my team posted on Slack that she changed the scent in this studio. And right after she posted it, the entire office clapped in our Slack channel. And this might sound crazy, but at the Diary of a CEO, this is the type of 1% improvement we make on our show.

And that is why the show is the way it is. By understanding the power of compounding 1%, you can absolutely change your outcomes in your life. It isn't about drastic transformations or quick wins. It's about the small, consistent actions that have a lasting change in your outcomes. So two years ago, we started the process of creating this beautiful diary, and it's truly beautiful.
