In this Leader Lounge episode Martin Johnson, focuses on the concept of worldview. Worldview is defined as having two parts: your current mental model of how the world is structured and works, and how much you agree with that framework. It informs everything you do, including your thoughts, behaviours, and decisions.

Martin encourages listeners to explore their worldview by answering five key, deep-seated questions:

1. 
   

   How do I believe the world was created? (Religious/Pantheism vs. Scientific/Humanism)

   
   

2. 
   

   How do I believe the world operates? (Political, societal, and environmental position; e.g., Capitalism vs. Socialism)

   
   

3. 
   

   Do I agree with or accept the way the world operates?

   
   

4. 
   

   What are my motivations and values? (Moral position)

   
   

5. 
   

   What happens to us when we die? (Often informed by the first question)

   
   

The episode also discusses several paired elements of a worldview:

• 
  

  Humanism (World is natural, based on science/reason) vs. Pantheism (World created by God/supreme entity).

  
  

• 
  

  Optimism (Hope is key, anything is possible) vs. Pessimism (World is corrupt, skepticism, mistrust).

  
  

• 
  

  Moralism (Belief the world should be fair and just with shared morals) vs. Moral Subjectivism (Morals and values are subjective due to different cultures/circumstances).

  
  

• 
  

  Individualism (Self-reliant, control your own destiny) vs. Collectivism (Things should be done together for the greater good of all).

  
  

• 
  

  Stoicism (Must be strong and endure pain/challenge) vs. Entitlement (Deserve pleasure, comfort, reward, and happiness).

  
  

The discussion concludes by explaining that your worldview determines your locus of control. An internal locus of control means you believe you control your life and attribute success/failure to your efforts. An external locus of control means you believe life is governed by environment/circumstance and attribute success/failure to external factors like luck. Martin stresses that a healthy internal locus of control is essential for overcoming life's complexities.
