Very true. I experienced this at around 3-5yrs of age. I barely survived back then in Korea and I’m still alive. Ever since then, I look and see thing’s from a whole different perspective
I agree. One of the best days of my life was when I landed myself into a men's shelter for the homeless. I remember thinking that for the first time, I only had to worry about "me". My whole life, even as a kid, had been about others.

Some practical notes and tools (according to the video) that are applicable immediately in order to start shifting personality traits. - Shake things up. Change won't happen by itself. - It's going to take a long time - Having lots of different strategies is important. Tailoring them based on circumstances is also crucial. Tools: Improve Trait Conscientiousness: - Adopt the mindset where "The more discipline I exert, the easier it is to stay in that state" over "Discipline is a finite resource and if I use it up too quickly, I won't have any left in a day." - Engineer environment so you aren't tempted to do the thing you're not supposed to do to begin with. Improve Trait Extroversion: - Do "Best Possible Self Exercise" to improve optimism. The Best self exercise essentially involves imagining things going perfectly in the areas of your life you really care about over the next 5 years. Can be repeated each day. - Fake it to make is really important. Really put yourself out there. Even (especially) if it makes you uncomfortable. You'll re-calibrate and learn the skills. Improve Trait Neuroticism: - Cognitive reappraisal. Re-frame negative emotions in a positive light (when appropriate): "I'm not scared, I'm excited to do this." - Affective labeling. Label emotions to dampen negative effects. - Do "N-back" brain training. Improve mental control to handle anxiety better.

Man, you just keep pumping out great content. I'm starting to become a regular 'full episode listener' here which is rare for me with this type of content. Super interesting subject with some great insights, Christian seems like a very down to earth and likeable person also.
Agree that Chris has very good guests and is able to ask pertinent questions. Really enjoy these podcasts. Rogan is that guy who will ask the obvious or even off the wall questions, questions people might wonder about but would never ask themselves. I used to do that in meetings and people would thank me afterwards for asking a question they would feel dumb asking. I was glad to play that role.
Growing up amongst people who blame everything on circumstances outside themselves and wonder why they reach 60, overweight and haven't come close to realising their dreams....it's a hard mindset habit to break! I wish more people talk about family estrangement and the methodology of making adult friends that aren't trauma bonding!
I can speak from authority here. The key is to under (almost) no circumstances (practically speaking) accept any toxic behaviour in your life. None. Look for the red flags in others, and be ready to leave at the first true sign of toxic behaviour. Equally important: hold yourself to the same high standard. Strive to be a healthy force in peoples' lives. Celebrate and encourage peoples' victories, and feel genuine disappointment when a friend fails or is going through a hard time. Tell the truth, have integrity, don't bad mouth people etc and follow a good bit of JBP's advice when it comes to being a responsible, healthy adult who looks after those around them. But, again, don't be a pushover - decisively cut out, block and remove any malevolent actors...
Great content Chris, I’ve been lowkey enjoying your show almost a year! Keep up the good content, it is such nice thing that you have so different kind of guesses from various fields/topics. It keeps the show really interesting
My master's degree was partly on quantifying personality types in a bird species and then assigning each individual to one of those categories. The early literature includes a test for boldness/shyness (essentially extroversion/introversion) called the 'novel object test'. They used an object that would never occur in the species' environment; a stuffed pink panther doll. They tested how readily an individual explored this novel object as a test for relative boldness. In my personal life I've stumbled into a lot of the techniques discussed in this podcast. I've also had tremendous success using the methods of Dr Joe Dispenza.
"Personality" is how we behave (seen by others). Persona = what we show to the world. One can choose to behave differently, Jarrett's "shake things up", but it's damed hard to do. IMO, personality is a function of blood chemistry. How? For centuries, drugs have been used to alter behaviors all the time. Change personality? Take drugs.
Life is a situation thing, governed by where and what they’ve been born into. Outside influences and the intellect of those around them dictate the awareness of the person, the intellectual ability to make personal changes so to speak, the emotional strength to take on the challenges. Finding the internal fortitude to attempt to change, to take on the challenge, must be seen as the driving force, as the most important thing in your mind. To add value to the change you seek is the key, and it must be as valuable as your future life itself.
I found that is easy not to smoke or drink if one is a introvert because of the lack of social interaction and so the lack of need to do things that done at a social gathering like smoking or drinking.
Most people cannot self motivate, that’s why our bodies had such a powerful sex/family building drive. It was a way to get people up and moving that has been completed undermined by our culture.
You should have the Objective Personality System folks (Dave and Shannon Powers) on here if you’re trying to get a handle on personality, what they’re trying to do is very interesting.
Having even just an experience can change you drastically and forever. Think of a hunter that has hunted for 30 years and then runs into Sasquatch…then decides to never hunt again or even step in the woods again🤔. I believe everything and everyone changes In some way everyday
Character/ disposition/ personality Ambivert/ omnivert…. I believe we are to overcome our weaknesses through our strengths. And mental health is better in those choosing to live from the strengths of their personality. And that criminals are choosing to misbehave from their weaknesses. May I recommend two volumes of compilations from Ellen White called Mind, Character, and Personality.
Great comment on treating the mind through the body first. Mind and body are not separate things; they are so deeply intertwined. More time outside exercising and eating better is one of the biggest steps towards improving mental health.
Yeah. I know when I smoke I become much more extroverted because of the relaxation and happiness factor. Any generalizations are just that...generalizations. There is value to it, and we all fit some generalizations. However we also don't fit all generalizations. That is, we can be outliers in some areas.
He probably relied on it as a crutch to help him out. You can’t just take something out and not replace it with something else. I had a friend who stopped smoking cigs and he seemed miserable for weeks. Started building random stuff in his garage as a new hobby, seems like he’s found his joy again.
Adapting sociopathic traits is not just a male conundrum. I'm looking for a job and I've been forced to become the biggest bullshit artist. Customizing my resume to make it through ATS and writing cover letters to appeal to the company values. One day I'm passionate about ethically sourced alpaca and the next I'm an expert on the acid balance of rare olive oils. Holy shit I just want to make earrings and have an etsy store but I need a job.
My mother, the darling, gave me some advice as a youth, “jealousy she said, is the closest thing to insanity” and she would have known, she was gorgeous.
Personality change is an interesting idea, but as Jordan Peterson has stated many times, there really isn't such a thing as a bad big five personality trait (unless maybe it's at an extreme). Because of this, I've always thought of personality not as something that should be changed, but something that should be embraced and exploited. My thought is that if you try to make yourself more conscientious than you are, you will not be true to yourself and you will burn out quickly. if you understand your personality and find out how to use the aspects of your personality to their full potential, then you'll be more satisfied. Maybe our personality is what it is because that's who we want to be at a fundamental level.
Important notes: Extroverts respond to external stimulus, while introverts respond to internal stimulus. There is little overlap for people who are on either end of the spectrum. These people live entirely different lives with entirely different preferences, habits, strengths, and pitfalls. If you want an extremely accurate personality test, especially for your career, social life, communication, and overall habits, go do a DISC profile, thank me later.
@@knowahnosenothing4862 free yes, better definitely not. I'd highly suggest checking out DISC. if you're price sensitive many institutions offer it for free or you can easily get your employer to pay for the whole company to access it. if that happens, you get kudos for introducing it to your bosses guaranteed.
Meaningful change takes time and continuous effort. You’re born with a certain personality, but your environment will greatly influence it. I enjoyed this conversation even though Christian is coming across as a bit “skittish” I find him genuinely competent.
What I most enjoyed about this episode was seeing you adapt to the needs of your guests - some just need that bit more enabling. You could see Christian growing into a role that perhaps wouldn't be his first choice for sharing his thoughts.
To dismiss Meyers Briggs as woo is too simplistic an answer. If you go look up a Meyers Briggs test right now it will likely use the OCEAN (big 5) model that this fellow is suggesting. For example, the E in OCEAN and in ESFP (personality type) is "Extroversion" which he talks about a lot.
Nobody seems to be aware that there are two different YHWH's and two different Old Testaments and it's weird... The Kuntillet ‘Ajrud inscriptions mention blessings by the names of YHWH of Samaria (Yehowah) and YHWH of Teman (Yahweh). Like all ancient Near Eastern gods, these two regional gods must have had central temples. This article examines their possible locations and suggests that the combination of the Kuntillet ‘Ajrud inscriptions with the eighth-century prophecies of Amos and Hosea holds the key for identifying these. In light of a detailed analysis of Hosea’s and Amos’ prophecies, it is further suggested that YHWH of Samaria was the name of the major God of the Kingdom of Israel and his main temple was located at Bethel, and that YHWH of Teman was the name of the God of the southern desert regions and his temple was located at Beer-sheba. Israelite traders who traveled southward probably visited the latter god’s temple, offered him sacrifices, made vows to repay him if they succeed in the expedition, and thus turned him to be their patron god during their travel in the desert region. This suggested identification explains why the Judahite cult place of Beer-sheba appears in Amos’ prophecy alongside the Israelite sanctuaries of Bethel, Gilgal, and Dan.
What do Samaritans believe in terms of the Bible? Samaritans believe that the Jewish Torah, and Judaism, have been corrupted by time and no longer serve the duties that God mandated to the Israelites on Mount Sinai. The holiest site for Samaritans in their faith is Mount Gerizim near Nablus, while Jews view the Temple Mount in Jerusalem as their most sacred location. The Samaritan religion: Their principal canonical text and main norm of religious observance is the Samaritan Pentateuch. The Samaritan Pentateuch contains the basic text of the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, yet there are about 6,000 differences between it and the masoretic Jewish version. Why did the Judahites not like the Samaritans? The Jews called them "half-breeds" and sent them home. The Samaritans built their own temple which the Jews considered pagan. The feud grew, and by the time of Christ, the Jews hated the Samaritans so much they crossed the Jordan river rather than travel through Samaria.
Pretty sad when the host seems to know way more than the guest. Williamson knew every answer before even asking the questions, and seemed to even have more to say than the guest had.
Just another podcast episode that shows how narcissistic we have become as a society/species. Why must we try to quantify and try to tweak everything under the sun? Why must we chase godhead than just live to experience what we have in our brief time here? I am not saying this guy shouldn't chase his holy grail, but stop trying to push it upon others. From what I have seen, the more we tweak with the mystery that is life and experience and want control over it, the more it will slip away. Get inside yourself and get outside yourself as it works for you. Just my opinion. Much love.

Chris Williamson is underappreciated. The most interesting guests spill their wisdom in half of Joe Rogan's time and without substances (allegedly).
