Episode 195 | How To Master Your Mindset | Darren Fleming

Forget discipline & healthy habits, master your mindset instead


Master your mindset to do less and achieve more!

My guest in this episode is Darren Fleming.

Darren is concerned that popular self-help literature focusses too much on developing the muscle of discipline and creating habits to guide our behaviour. He fears this leads to us playing whack-a-mole with distracting thoughts and destructive behaviour.

By being a slave to discipline and healthy habits, Darren says we’re setting up our day to be one long series of battles within ourselves.

Instead, Darren says we might be better off learning how to deactivate what drives us to distraction so we can have greater inner peace, control and ultimately happiness in our day.

Darren wants us to master our mindset.

Master your mindset to do less and achieve more.
