How To Be More Interesting

Growth Mindset Psychology
About this episode

The surprising techniques to be more yourself - that also make you more interesting.


There are endless self-help books and blogs about how to increase your charisma. In the same way you can increase your sales skills by following a checklist but there is something fake about it.


Instead, we look at little-known ways you can naturally get better at being yourself. We can then expand on our own natural tendencies and be more interesting to the people we are inherently interested in.


Some lessons in the episode:

  • Increasing the depth of your interests
  • Stop trying to 'fit in' to other peoples standards
  • Prioritise your areas of effort
