Personality Isn’t Permanent: Break Free from Self‑Limiting …

He offers practical, science-based advice to for personal-reinvention, including:

– Why personality tests such as Myers-Briggs and Enneagram are not only psychologically destructive but are no more scientific than horoscopes
– Why you should never be the “former” anything–because defining yourself by your past successes is just as damaging to growth as being haunted by past failures
– How to design your current identity based on your desired future self and make decisions here-and-now through your new identity
– How to reframe traumatic and painful experiences into a fresh narrative supporting your future success
– How to become confident enough to define your own life’s purpose
– How to create a network of “empathetic witnesses” who actively encourage you through the highs and lows of extreme growth
– How to enhance your subconscious to overcome addictions and limiting patterns
– How redesign your environment to pull you toward your future, rather than keep you stuck in the past
– How to tap into what psychologists call “pull motivation” by narrowing your focus on a single, definable, and compelling outcome

The book includes true stories of intentional self-transformation–such as Vanessa O’Brien, who quit her corporate job and set the Guinness World Record for a woman climbing the highest peak on every continent in the fastest time; Andre Norman, who became a Harvard fellow after serving a fourteen-year prison sentence; Ken Arlen, who instantly quit smoking by changing his identity narrative; and Hardy himself, who transcended his childhood in a broken home, surrounded by issues of addiction and mental illness, to earn his PhD and build a happy family.

Filled with strategies for reframing your past and designing your future, Personality Isn’t Permanent is a guide to breaking free from the past and becoming the person you want to be.
