EFR 743: Why 10x'ing Your Goals is Easier Than 2x and How to Achieve More by Doing Less with Dr. Benjamin Hardy
00:00:00
00:00:00
How can setting 'impossible' goals be more achievable than 'possible' ones? Today, I sit down with psychologist Dr. Benjamin Hardy, PhD who challenges us to reimagine our perception of time and how it influences our growth. We cover everything from the power of psychological flexibility, goal setting, and productivity, to the intriguing theory of the future dictating the present and the present shaping our past.
Benjamin unpacks his concept of 10x growth, and how it can be more achievable than mere 2x growth, demolishing the conventional wisdom of simply doing more work to get more results. We reflect on making substantial investments (both in time and resources) in ourselves and our team, acknowledging the significance of creating an optimal environment for attaining success.
In the final stretch of our conversation, we examine the essence of continuously raising our standards, accepting change, and aspiring for growth. The foundation of having an internal reference point for progress measurement and the power of gratitude is underscored, leaving you with actionable insights on reframing your identity and recognizing highly impactful people. By the end of this episode, you'll feel ready to transform your life and create an environment that fosters 10x growth. Tune in to reshape your future, starting today!

In this episode, you will learn...
The Power of Perception: One of the key takeaways from the podcast is understanding how our perception of time influences our personal growth. Dr. Hardy suggests that our future should dictate our present and our present should shape our past.
Setting 'Impossible' Goals: Another important lesson is the idea that 'impossible' goals can often lead to greater success than 'possible' ones. This ties into decision-making and constraint theory, highlighting the potential of using past experiences as stepping stones for our future.
Maximizing Productivity: Dr. Hardy discusses the importance of identifying and focusing on the few activities with the most significant potential for growth, a concept related to the 80/20 principle. This idea can lead to a greater understanding of how to optimize productivity.
Embracing Continuous Growth: The podcast emphasizes the significance of continuous growth, change, and setting high goals. By understanding the importance of internal reference points for measuring progress and practicing gratitude, listeners can learn to reframe their identity and aim for higher goals.
Investing in Personal Growth: Lastly, the episode underscores the value of investing in ourselves and our teams, as well as the importance of creating an environment conducive to success. These insights can drastically change listeners' approach to personal and professional growth, potentially leading to a 10x increase in productivity and success.

In this episode, you will learn...
Addiction can often be disguised behind high performance, leading to a dangerous illusion of control. Individuals struggling with addiction can often still perform at high levels, making it difficult to recognize.
The importance of self-discovery and healing in overcoming addiction cannot be overstated. This process often involves facing uncomfortable past experiences and finding healthier ways to channel energy and cope with trauma.
The power of small, meaningful interactions and acts of kindness can have a profound impact on your life and the lives of others.
Creatives, artists, and entrepreneurs can be particularly prone to addiction. Understanding this can help in identifying potential issues and finding balance in life.
Confronting addiction and changing behaviors requires an understanding of your own habits and the ability to distinguish between needs and wants.

In this episode, you will learn...
Consciousness is a complex, multidimensional concept that is intricately linked to our identities, emotions, and perception of life and death. Understanding consciousness can be a lifelong journey, but can also lead to profound personal transformation.
Quantum theories suggest that our perceived physical reality might be an illusion, with the true fundamental reality being a field of consciousness that permeates the universe.
The exploration of consciousness through psychedelic medicines can provide unique insights and transformative experiences. These altered states of consciousness can help individuals connect with their inner selves and can even help in transforming trauma into spiritual growth.
The division between science and religion, often referred to as the Cartesian split, has led to resistance in the scientific community to ideas of consciousness as a fundamental reality.
The concept of God in the context of consciousness can be interpreted as the entirety of the universe, and our individual consciousness is a part of this universal consciousness, suggesting that our individual experiences are a way for this universal consciousness, or God, to experience the world.

Have you ever wondered about the impact our ever-increasing reliance on technology has on our health and environment? This episode sheds light on this crucial issue along with repeat guest Darin Olien. Together, we unravel the complexities of electromagnetic frequencies and their implications on our health, from cellular stress responses to the foreboding reality of lowered testosterone levels. Darin also highlights the urgent need to shift towards a sustainable home and poses challenging but realistic alternatives to our daily living that will not only keep us healthier but reduce our carbon footprint and create healthier communities.
Fatal conveniences are the toxic products we routinely use and the unhealthy things we do that our culture and corporations have made us believe are safe and necessary for living well and efficiently. These things—from deodorant, cosmetics, dental floss, and sunscreen to laundry detergent, air fresheners, carpets, and crayons to candles, tea bags, cell phones, and chewing gum—are ubiquitous in daily life . . . and they are wreaking havoc on our health and our planet. The environmental toxins found in these products create a cascade of problems, including chemical sensitivities, auto-immune issues, obesity, chronic health diseases, and more.
But it's not just about what we put in or on our bodies, we explore the profound impact our decisions can have on our personal growth and the world around us. Darin underscores the importance of connecting with others, caring for ourselves, and living purposefully. Dare to challenge fear, choose love instead, and transform your life one decision at a time.
