Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement
Lessons, Paradoxes and Hard Questions For Building an Authentic Life
30 Sep 2025
We chase alignment with our purpose, values, passions but can sometimes get a little lost on the way. Life has a scary habit of passing us by in a rush and Sam has just turned 35 years old and feeling very philosophical about the whole thing. We take a tour of some of the big problems in society people struggle with and the paradoxes that make them difficult. From waning attention spans to political chaos or the lenses and mindsets that we view life with. Sam weaves together some of the hottest topics into coherent discussions on how we can be who we want to be in a changing world. NEW SHOW - How to Change the World: The History and Future of Innovation Learn about the evolving story of the human species and our ideas told in chronological order.
