New PN: Personality Isn’t Permanent

Break Free from Self-Limiting Beliefs and Rewrite Your Story

by Benjamin Hardy, PhD

“The ability of the average man could be doubled if it were demanded. If the situation demanded.”

FROM THE BOOK

“In this book, you’re going to learn how personality is shaped, and how you yourself can and should be its shaper.

You’ll learn to be the architect and blacksmith of your personality, and thus be enabled to forge yourself into whomever you decide to be. Specifically, Personality Isn’t Permanent will help you:

Discover the myths of personality that limit most people’s potential.
Decide for yourself the life you want to live, regardless of how different it is from your past or present.
Become emotionally flexible so your past no longer defines you.
Reframe trauma and live like everything in your life happens for you, not to you.
Become confident enough to define your own life’s purpose.
Create a network of ‘empathetic witnesses’ who actively encourage you to continue moving forward through your highs and lows.
Enhance your subconscious to overcome addictions and limiting patterns.
Redesign your environment to pull you toward your future, rather than keep you stuck in the past.

In short, this book provides you the science and strategy for never getting stuck in an identity or pattern again. You will learn the most direct, simple, and effective path to change and growth. This is a proven, scientific process that you can master and apply to your life to ensure you are never trapped or defined by your past again.”

Brian's Notes

This is the third Note I’ve created on one of Ben Hardy’s great books.

We started with The Science of Scaling, in which I shared how spending time with Ben and that book influenced how I was approaching things with Heroic.

Then we had some fun exploring how to Be Your Future Self Now.

I’ll be covering the other books I read in my Ben-binge of five books soon including Willpower Doesn’t Work, The Gap and the Gain, and Who Not How.

This book is FANTASTIC. If you want to check those bullet point items off your Life To Do List, I think you’ll enjoy it as much as I did. (Get a copy here.)

It’s PACKED with Big Ideas. I’m excited to share some of my favorites and help you apply that wisdom to your life TODAY so let’s get to work!

P.S. One of the (many!) reasons I love Ben and his work as much as I do is because I don’t know if I’ve EVER read someone who references SO MANY of the great teachers we feature.

For example, in this book alone, Ben mentions these authors (click on them to see all the Notes we have on each!): Stephen Covey, Viktor Frankl, Charles Duhigg, Hal Elrod, Abraham Maslow, Ellen Langer, General Mattis, Napoleon Hill, Cal Newport, Steven Pressfield, Carol Dweck, Michael Singer, Joe Dispenza, Robin Sharma, Roy Baumeister, Wayne Dyer, Byron Katie, Barry Schwartz, Adam Grant, and Jeff Goins.
