A 3 part decision framework to understand and solve any frustration.
Ultimately all problems are a perception of the mind. Sometimes there is a way around or through the problem that we can't see.
This episode Sam Webster explores a framework to help us diagnose the problem we are experiencing so we can correctly deal with it.
Problems we want to have - Small problems that are connected to a bigger goal we want (see the last episode)
Problems we can't change - Realities of life we need to accept
Problems we don't want to have - Actual problems we need to creatively and logically solve
This episode covers the whole framework with details on steps 2 and 3. To listen to the full set of ideas for part one see the last episode on real advice to build gratitude that doesn't suck.

Burn the manifestation guide and step away from the affirmations. Here are some unusual but realistic ways to build happiness, wonder and gratitude for the world around you.
We all know we "should" build more gratitude if we want to be happier. You may have heard of gratitude journalling or even be practising it. Today we explore ideas that aren't spoken about but make a difference to your baseline enjoyment of life.
Some themes we highlight:
The recurring problem with goals
Fighting the natural focus on flaws
Building a polymathic curiosity
Raising our baseline everyday gratitude
Zero affirmations
Whether you are highly sceptical of the positive or spiritual aspects of gratitude or just fed up with the endless bad news. It can feel hard to feel grateful when things seem so overwhelmingly difficult but this episode will teach you two ways to fight our focus on flaws and see reality with greater clarity.

How to use AI to avoid lazy thinking traps and think deeper, faster, and with greater perspective.
Tim O'Shea joins the podcast to talk about ways to genuinely improve your thinking with AI.
Employing a self-improvement coach is expensive. As well as a writing coach or a therapist or a coder or an accountant or an SEO strategist.
Generative AI has been heralded as giving us the tools to do all of these things on one simple interface. But the reality of using it can seem clunky and well-limited.
We explore ways to make the most of AI's like ChatGPT and Claude to improve your creativity and problem solve.
How to uncover lost memories
Improve your writing and storytelling
Get an elite advisor on anything
Think bigger and think differently
Generate useful and surprising ideas and connections.
Whether you want Warren Buffet to review your investing choices and teach you to be a better investor or you want Morpheus's advice on finding your purpose in life. With a playful approach you can unlock a lot fo fun and creativity and this episode should give you some ideas you haven't thought of before.

Conflicted, Confused, and Ready to Vote - Uncovering the discombobulated thoughts of the great undecided who will sway the election.
We dive into the hidden forces in our minds that sway our decisions when we don't know how to decide. From Free Will to Confirmation Bias, Appearances and a Turn of Phrase. What doesn't matter and what could make all the difference in a voters mind.
We cover:
Where do our preferences come from
How we shortcut confusing decisions into simple flawed decisions
The impact of last-minute scandals
What each side doesn't understand?
The irrational nature of sensible people
Who has been overlooked by politics and what are they thinking
The 60th US election coming on November 5th between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump has been on the news non stop for a year. Finally, it will all be over and we can move on with our lives.
13% of people remain undecided but with their vote being crucially important in an otherwise 50:50 race, the nuanced factors that sway their thinking have never been more important.
Tune in to uncover the psychology of last-minute voters and the hidden mind games controlling the election.

We celebrate 'hard work" but forget to consider the benefits of thinking "hard thoughts".
This episode teaches how to navigate uncertainty without taking easy options by building a capacity for complexity.
Allow doubt to improve our decisions
Understand multiple causes behind outcomes
Reduce judgement of others
Improve your field of vision
Weight statistics properly
Take ownership of forming opinion without using others
Accept lower confidence and greater accuracy
The mind is full of complexity and it relentlessly tries to optimise and take shortcuts. This serves is well in many aspects but cultivating a practice of taking the harder path in our thinking allows us to see hidden truths behind out assumptions.
To arrive at better decisions we need to learn to balance uncertainty with statistics and see beyond our limited field of view. It isn't easy but the benefits can greatly improve your outcomes and your mindsets.

A lot of the self-improvement industry and advice is backwards. The more books we read the further away from our goals we become.
Ultimately we want to be happier yet we are accruing more and more things to fix before we are happy with ourselves.
In this episode, we explore the biggest paradoxes where the work we do can make us more brittle and breakable:
Effortlessness Paradox - The harder we try the harder we make it
Happiness Paradox - Pursuing Happiness instead chases it away
Validation paradox - Seeking external validation prevents internal validation
Emotions paradox - Suppressing emotions makes them overwhelm us
The Shadow - Rejecting our flaws makes them worse
Planning Paradox - Overplanning reduces adaptability
Self-Improvement Paradox - The more things you find to fix the more broken you feel
Searching and finding can be different things.
We learn a more subtle approach to self-improvement that spends more time building wisdom and focusing on smaller immediately actionable steps with less chasing and running in circles.
We find answers to the question "How do we balance the art of wanting to improve whilst also wanting to live in contentment in the present?"

The anti-hustle guide to finding a balance that maximises happiness through intention and wisdom.
Optimising every second of your calendar to the nth degree isn't a recipe for dreamlike productivity, it's a collision course for anxiety-riddled burnout. In our era of ever more time demands what are we to do?
Oliver Burkman in his book 4,000 week presents a guide to living as a human being in a messy and demanding environment that allows you to prioritise what's essential in a calm and rational manner. The key is to not forget what else is important in a life well lived besides productive output.
We can't be everywhere and do everything but anything we do commit to takes from the things we don't. Growing old and missing out on a bunch of important non-urgent life goals is not where you want to end up.
This episode discusses the 7 best lessons of wisdom from Oliver Burkmen's book along with some advice from Psychology and Sam's own experiences.

We are drowning in self-improvement content to make us wealthier, wiser, more productive sexier versions of ourselves. Yet at the same time, it seems like humanity is going backwards.

Conscious experience is a result of our awareness, but how do we take back our free will from external drivers?
This episode explores the links between the conscious experience and what Free will really is. Building on that we explore how the body deals with pain and negative emotions and how we can learn to carve free will, awareness and control into our day-to-day lives.
Dr Stephen Porges is the father of Polyvagal Theory and how the body perceives threat and safety. His lessons are crucial for how humans connect, learn and exist and build the fundamental concepts to understand emotional intelligence.

Let's talk about Power Moves - Lethal Combinations of traits that can unlock your full potential
Most of us have strengths and with each strength is a corresponding weakness.
Says who?
History has shown time and time again that embodying seemingly contradictory traits can result in outsized success.
We look at the weaknesses we accept and how to overcome the fixed mindset, break out of our natural blockers, and become a spikey, unbalanced individual with additive strengths.
Balancing lessons from history and psychology we go on a tour of the most common and powerful opposing strengths that can be turned into an unstoppable combination when harnessed correctly. We also explore:
How to identify your ideal strength combination
Tools to work on weaknesses from different angles
How neurodiversity and personality disorders can be harnessed as strengths
Embracing instead of fighting your weaknesses
