Growth Mindset Psychology

There are a lot of opinions on how to master your mind, but then there’s PSYCHOLOGY.
We’re all stuck with the brain we’re born with, but we aren’t stuck with how we use it.

Learn science-backed answers to make the most of your mind and your life.

CURIOUS?
Growth Mindset Psychology is the "self-help sceptic" podcast for the curious.
Whether you want to improve performance, navigate setbacks, or know who you are.
We find answers to the true science of self-improvement.
So put down the astrology chart and start working with your mind, instead of against it.
With over 8 million downloads and 60,000 monthly listeners, you’re invited to join.

PROCESS
Instead of telling you what to think, we discuss how thinking works.
Armed with a stack of science journals, textbooks and a boatload of curiosity, we uncover the mechanics of the mind.
Why? >>> Success is personal!
You might want to make the most of your neurodiverse strengths, start a business, or simply find more reasons to smile.
Hone your ability for independent thinking and growth with mental models to pursue your definition of success.

HOST
I’m Sam Webster Harris, a lifelong learner with ADHD, a raging curiosity, and an obsession with finding answers to hard questions.
After launching several businesses, travelling the world and nearly dying a few times I concluded that science and Psychology are where it’s at.
What actually makes people happy? What’s the best way to treat a brain? How can I get more done?
Studying the answers we find that changing behaviours requires building mindsets, mental models, and a healthy relationship with failure.
I run the show to help listeners enjoy nutritious content that feeds their minds (and I needed a legitimate excuse to cover for my reading addiction).

Growth Mindset: Psychology of self-improvement

The small but very real problems that hold you back in a big way.

Personal finances feel just that, personal. Yet most of our issues are fundamentally quite predictable and universal based on different mindset patterns and beliefs we pick up.

Money isn't a completely natural tool; it is a human invention that helps us overcome trade and resource accumulation problems. Learning the basics of how to think about money and deal with it allows for us to become a master of our own future.

From Lifestyle inflation to investing strategy or the issue of inaction feeling you have to learn more first

This episode covers the 14 biggest mistakes we make when we think about money.

14 Habits Keeping You Poor

Modern technology amplifies our fear and emotions. FOMO is on the rise.

Whether you are worried about being invited to a party, checking social media, or finding it harder to make decisions.

FOMO is increasingly driving our emotions and actions. It is a deeply natural feeling built into us through hundreds of thousands of years of evolution. But it hasn't kept up with our incredible pace of technological change.

Part of the reason we have such a decline in mental health is we can compare ourselves to the perfect lives all around us in the digital world and feel we don't stack up.

This episode will help you understand what's really going on:

The evolutionary roots of FOMO

How our modern world is making us anxious

Why ADHD is on the rise

Where to take back our focus

What to celebrate and look up to.

Self-Help Vs. Real-Help: How to Actually Improve Your Life

The science behind spreading Christmas cheer and getting people to like you.

Not only is Elf a wonderfully silly and enjoyable Christmas movie. Its premise is based on a fascinating concept that can be explored using psychology.

What happens when an adult is raised by elves?

Not only do we get to revisit a great story but we can learn about:

Attachment Theory

Identity Development

Social Contagion and spreading good vibes

Family Systems

Nuerodivergence and upbringing effects

The psychology of Jor and Wonder

A great way to learn some science and develop your own sense of curiosity and wonder is to dive headfirst down rabbit holes of psychology and overly analyse movies for the sheer hell of it.

It's a great movie and there's lots to learn about ourselves, Christmas and happiness when we look beyond the candy canes and maple syrup.

The Psychology of Buddy the Elf ☃️❄️🎅

Why do we get off track, and how do we get back on track?

Humans love goals, but where do our goals come from?

How much do we choose them vs. have them chosen for us...

We learn how to stop working towards destinations that look good to others.

Instead, we dissect what makes a good goal that creates a journey we want to go on.

Topics include:

The reality of aspirational destinations

Focussing on the journeys of your life

A healthy relationship with money

How to stay motivated

The rule of thirds

As we learn more about appreciating the road less travelled and what a good life means to us we can step back from the frenetic distractions and occupations to think about what really matters.

As the famous saying goes "It's just another cold dark night on the side of Everest" - Sometimes our goals feel boring in the day-to-day and we lose sight of the big picture. Remember there is something worth fighting for.

Journey vs Destination: How to Optimise For The Right Things In Life

What does it mean to live a good life?

The Stoics were the masters of asking the right questions to focus the mind on what's important.

At the year's end, it's a perfect time to reflect on who you've been this year and who you want to be going forward.

We juggle multiple priorities and hectic demands, so it's easy to get lost in the day-to-day. Today's episode will combine Psychology with Stoicism as we ask the most important questions we can of ourselves to help direct our lives in the direction we want them to take.

Topics include:

Turning obstacles into opportunity

Overcoming the fears that hold us back

Simplifying our life

Walking the walk

Taking control of our responsibilities.

Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul: Inner peace comes from self-awareness and reflection"

The Life-Changing Magic of Actually Doing Stuff - Start 2025 Right

The psychology of beating procrastination, inaction, and confusion that lets you systematically work towards any goal.

Goal setting is easy - Goal achieving is a very different thing.

We dig into the main causes and the often small but subtle tweaks we can make that keep us in check.

Using ideas from psychology and ancient wisdom we see how humans have dealt with the big hairy ambitious goals over history and how you can too:

Task Initiation Paralysis - Shows us how Charles Darwin overcame the most complex tasks in history.

Ulysses Contracts - Teaches us how Victor Hugo wrote the timeless Hunchback of Notre Dame ahead of schedule by engineering his environment.

Effective vs Fluffy Intentions - How psychologists helped heart surgery patients double their success rates through a simple sentence change.

Sam also lists some of the most effective resources and tools you can access to stay on track to beat the common problems we face.
