Michael Hyatt shares new research from his new book, Mind Your Mindset
I’ll be the first one to admit that my thoughts – aka the little voice in my head — have gotten in my way more times than I care to admit.
It’s told me terrible stories like, “You’re not good enough,” and “You can’t do this” – and guess what? Those narratives, even though they’re not true, are all rooted in past experiences I’ve had in my life.
According to research spearheaded by my mentor Michael Hyatt and his daughter Megan, it’s not unusual for 50% of our memories to be false or distorted. And yet we create stories around what’s possible based on those faulty memories.
Now, here’s the good news. It’s scientifically proven that you can engineer your thoughts for success, and in this episode, you’ll hear how.
Michael joins me to talk about performance psychology, neuroscience, and the cognitive science around success, which is all uncovered in his new book Mind Your Mindset.
Tune in to hear:
- How and why your thoughts influence your success
- 3 simple steps you can take to rewire your negative thoughts
- What to do when that negative mindset continues to persist
- Examples of how everyday people have engineered their mindset for success
… Plus, much, much more! So if you’re sick and tired of old stories getting in your way, pop in your earbuds and press play! Trust me, you don’t want to miss this one.
