Personality Isn't Permanent

Break Free from Self-Limiting Beliefs and Rewrite Your Story

De: Benjamin Hardy

Narrado por: Sean Pratt

Psychologist and best-selling author Benjamin Hardy, PhD, debunks the pervasive myths about personality that prevent us from learning - and provides bold strategies for personal transformation.

In Personality Isn’t Permanent, Dr. Benjamin Hardy draws on psychological research to demolish the popular misconception that personality - a person’s consistent attitudes and behaviors - is innate and unchanging. Hardy liberates us from the limiting belief that our “true selves” are to be discovered and shows how we can intentionally create our desired selves and achieve amazing goals instead. He offers practical, science-based advice to for personal-reinvention, including:

• Why personality tests such as Myers-Briggs and Enneagram are not only psychologically destructive, but are no more scientific than horoscopes
• Why you should never be the “former” anything - because defining yourself by your past successes is just as damaging to growth as being haunted by past failures
• How to design your current identity based on your desired future self and make decisions here and now through your new identity
• How to reframe traumatic and painful experiences into a fresh narrative supporting your future success
• How to become confident enough to define your own life’s purpose
• How to create a network of “empathetic witnesses” who actively encourage you through the highs and lows of extreme growth
• How to enhance your subconscious to overcome addictions and limiting patterns
• How redesign your environment to pull you toward your future, rather than keep you stuck in the past
• How to tap into what psychologists call “pull motivation” by narrowing your focus on a single, definable, and compelling outcome

The audiobook includes true stories of intentional self-transformation - such as Vanessa O’Brien, who quit her corporate job and set the Guinness World Record for a woman climbing the highest peak on every continent in the fastest time; Andre Norman, who became a Harvard fellow after serving a 14-year prison sentence; Ken Arlen, who instantly quit smoking by changing his identity narrative; and Hardy himself, who transcended his childhood in a broken home, surrounded by issues of addiction and mental illness, to earn his PhD and build a happy family.

Filled with strategies for reframing your past and designing your future, Personality Isn’t Permanent is a guide to breaking free from the past and becoming the person you want to be.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This is a generous, empowering and purposeful book. If you're ready, it will help you unlock a future that you may have been brainwashed into believing wasn't possible. Worth sharing a copy with someone you care about." (Seth Godin, author of This Is Marketing)

"Personality Isn't Permanent is possibly the best self-help book I've ever read, and a book that will redefine the genre. After this book, it's no longer good enough to talk about untested theory - Hardy backs everything up with both amazing stories and cutting edge, tested science, while still making it actionable to anyone. Best part: this is the book that destroys all the useless personality test peddlers that infect the world." (Tucker Max, author of I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell)

"In Personality Isn’t Permanent, Hardy crushes an outdated paradigm and gives you the process to create a bigger, bolder future." (J. J. Virgin, author of The Virgin Diet)

Cannot recommend this book enough!

This book is better, more actionable, and gives you the tools you need to create an incredible life.

This is the best personal development book I have ever read!

Don’t want it to end! Bought 3 printed copies!!

Easily one of the best books that I have read! (This shouldn’t be taken lightly, as I read a lot!) So many wonderful ideas, quotes and actionable steps all in one place! I am not even done listening to the audiobook (for the first time, as this clearly a book that I will intentionally come back to again and again), but I just bought 3 print copies to ensure I have one at home, one at work (college) and one to gift/loan! Now, I am trying to figure out how to make it required reading in my nutrition courses!

Fantastic! I will listen to this again and again!

Loved it.

This book helped me completely reframe my past so I can re-write my future! A must read for 2020. Thank you Dr. Hardy!

Number One Book of 2020

Life changing perspective. Must read/listen. Your life will never be the same. Well done sir.

Highly recommend

I really enjoyed the narrator. I thought he could have been the author the way he read the book with understanding. Practical and applicable content. I would highly recommend this book. I do wish it came with pdf's of the questions at the end of the chapters. I may have to get the hard copy too.

Good stuff

Great information. The book had good content, examples and explanations. I would recommend this book.

Worth the read!

This opened my mind to some deep thinking about where I want my future self to be. Thank you!

Loved

I already know I’m going to read this again. SO empowering and SO much to digest. Love!

Engaging Anecdotes

The author used different stories to reflect their point of shifting away from a fixed mindset to a growth view of self. I really enjoyed the ability to shift into a future self with various different examples. Also, it is very difficult to address trauma in an anecdote way without missing details that are important but the author did a great job button those points together.

Thought provoking ideas

Game changer that has inspired me to make changes and become what I want to become.
For my life
