New PN: Be Your Future Self Now
 |
The Science of Intentional Transformationby Dr. Benjamin Hardy |
“Assume the consciousness of being the one you want to be, and you will be saved from your present state."NEVILLE GODDARD |
FROM THE BOOK“As the science of prospection and Future Self continues to grow and become increasingly compelling, Future Self coaching and meditation programs are in development.
Yet, there has never been a definitive book written on the topic until now. Research among psychologists is on the cutting edge, and the science is still young. The science of Future Self will increase during the next two decades. This book is here to catch you up on the latest science to this point. In this highly practical book, you’ll learn: the science of your Future Self how to connect with and create your desired Future Self how to expand your Future Self far, far beyond what you currently imagine. The quality of connection you have with your own Future Self determines the quality of your life and behaviors now. Research shows that the more connected you are to your own Future Self, the wiser decisions you make here and now. This book brings together ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science to explain in simple terms how you can radically change your life. Are you ready? Let’s begin. Cheers to your Future Self.” |
Brian's Notes
Joseph Campbell once said that when you find an author who grabs you, you should read EVERYTHING they’ve ever written.
That’s what I have done with Ben Hardy and his books.
Years ago, I read 10x Is Easier Than 2x and part of The Gap and the Gain (which Ben wrote with Dan Sullivan), but it wasn’t until I read The Science of Scaling that Ben’s work REALLY grabbed me. At which point, as I discussed in detail in my Notes on The Science of Scaling, I immediately signed up for Ben’s Scaling.com platform, became text buddies through some mutual friends, and bought EVERY book he’d ever written.
To put it in perspective, within a week I’d read FIVE more of his books.
At this stage, I’ve spent a lot of time with a lot of self-development authors.
Ben is beyond the real deal. I told him he reminds me of a blend of Cal Newport (who was also insanely prolific at a young age), Stephen Covey (who I consider the 20th century’s greatest self-development teacher), and Jim Collins (who I consider the greatest living business strategist). But, beyond the wisdom, Ben EMBODIES the ideals he teaches. His presence, clarity, intensity, and generosity are incredibly powerful and equally inspiring.
With that context, let’s chat about this book. It’s MIND-BOGGLINGLY good.
I know I basically recommend every book I read. I HIGHLY (!!!) recommend this book. It’s a remarkable take on the SCIENCE of being your best self by tapping into the SCIENCE of the power of living from your FUTURE self. (Get a copy here.)
I’ve read nearly EVERY positive psychology book out there by all the greats. But, somehow, I missed the compelling research being done on the power of our Future Selves. The reason I didn’t know about it is because NO ONE has written a book on it until Ben.
Btw: I also didn’t know Martin Seligman and Roy Baumeister had written an academic treatise on the subject called Homo Prospectus until Ben gave me a copy of it. (Note soon!)
As you’d expect, the book is PACKED with Big Ideas. As always, I’m excited to share a handful of my favorites and help you apply the wisdom TODAY. Let’s get to work.
P.S. One of the reasons I absolutely love Ben so much is that we are inspired by the same great teachers. I just looked at my little note card on which I jotted down the authors he references that we’ve covered. There are over 25 of them, including but not limited to: Viktor Frankl (his #1 source of inspiration!), Ellen Langer, Aristotle, Stephen Covey, Peter Drucker, Steven Pressfield, John Maxwell, Adam Grant, Seth Godin, James Allen, Anders Ericsson, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, and Will Durant.
P.P.S. Special shout out to Lori Mage. Lori and I traded texts yesterday. We chatted about Ben and this book. She told me (goosebumps) just how much she LOVED Ben and his work and this book in particular. She’s read it multiple times. I appreciate you and all your support, Lori. I’m writing this for you. (HUG!)
