Episode How 7 Core Beliefs Shape Your Health, Happiness, & Success | Shawn Achor

0:00 1:07:03

Shawn Achor spent twelve years at Harvard studying the science of belief and success, and his TED talk has been watched more than 25 million times. His new book, The Power of Beliefs, grew out of research with the NFL, NASA, and six Marine battalions at Camp Pendleton, and out of watching his own daughter fight for her life three months early.

• The 7 core beliefs that control much of our lives, without us knowing it • Why believing you’re alone in your effort can make hard things harder. • The two small words that turn a hollow pep talk into a path to success. • What a stranger's ten seconds on an escalator taught Shawn about the difference between mattering less and not mattering at all. • A five-minute weekly habit Shawn's family calls the Memory DeLorean, and what it does to the story you tell about a hard season. • How time-stress can make you abandon everything you believe is important. • How to harness hidden beliefs to feel more alive and connected, and thrive in all parts of life.

For anyone in a season where the ground feels tilted against them, this is a reminder that the tilt might be more changeable than it feels.
