The Science of Why We Lie to Ourselves About Being Special
3 Concepts to Ground Yourself
Have you ever wondered why we tend to think we're better than others? Or why we so often underestimate the challenges ahead of us? What if we're all lying to ourselves about our own greatness? In this episode, we'll explore three ways that we lie to ourselves about being special, and why it's important to be honest with ourselves.
In this episode, We'll unravel the fallacy of immortality, the myths of being first, and the powerful influence of racism on our lives. We'll also discuss why it's important to be honest with ourselves about our own limitations, and how doing so can help us achieve our goals and live more fulfilling lives.

On the growth mindset podcast with Sam Webster Harris, we explore the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement. Success and happiness is a state of mind unique to ourselves and is our responsibility to create.
Through a process of honest self-reflection of what is holding us back and what is driving us forward, we can lose the ego and build awareness of how to be the best we can be.
