Publicado 2024-07-25
High-performance psychologist Mike Gervais has a solution. He calls it mastery. Mike’s approach to mastering our thoughts and emotions has helped Olympians win gold medals, the Seattle Seahawks win the Superbowl, and CEOs take their companies to the next level.
Mike and I sat down to discuss the psychological tools to fine-tune our inner voices and why focusing on purpose instead of outcome empowers us to accomplish difficult things.
This…is A Bit of Optimism.

Tom Cruise's psychologist twin. Good stuff too. Love Simon, and this was a great discussion. Needed it today too.

I would be interested to hear how Dr. Mike Gervais managed to transform his sport team's fear from losing again in Superbowl to new confidence and trust in their individual strength and power to win again as a team.

We're programming ourselves 👍 Psychologist Ethan Kross calls this dark side of our minds “chatter.” As he writes in his book exploring the subject: “Chatter consists of the cyclical negative thoughts and emotions that turn our singular capacity for introspection into a curse rather than a blessing. It puts our performance, decision-making, relationships, happiness, and health in jeopardy.”

Did not expect the takeaways from this to be so… kind and gentle. Love it, thank you both.
-
This is great and help me identify my drive. Which is not to perform well but to master a skill. Well done gentleman. Yes the current political situation to conform despite the ridiculousness makes more sense now.
-
This is such a good conversation. Thank you guys!
-
Thank you to both of you. You've both influenced my thinking through your books and YouTube videos (including your podcast), and still continuing to influence me. High respect to both of you. Best regards from Jakarta, Indonesia.

Exceptional.

Loved this discussion!!!
-
Superb content. Just what I needed
-
Simon, great guest, and enjoyed the insights given. The distracting part was your constant intervention while the guest was sharing his thoughts. If you look back you will see that your responses to the questions you posed were more than what the guest spoke. This is my feedback but I enjoyed the insights.
-
Absolutely enjoyed this conversation. Exceedingly insightful AND useful information. Cheers gents!!
-
Please, please, please bring Dacher Keltner on your podcast. There is a synergy between optimism, gratitude, and awe that people need to hear about.

Experience in every aspect needs to overcome to become a master in life...

This convo is crazy funny
-
Oh good someone else noticed the interrupting…
-
Simon is very passionate about this topic, Mike was interrupted a lot. 😂 please Simon, let him answer the questions in the next session ☘️

Because reputation is tied so closely with income. Core example; A college degree.

i wish i could see something about quiet quitting with a job that doesnt value employees, only the work they produce.
