The Will Project, founded on the principles of psychosynthesis and proposed by Roberto Assagioli, emphasizes the importance of developing inner strength and will. Andrew Huberman’s podcast episode, “How to Increase Your Willpower & Tenacity,” explores the psychological basis of tenacity, how beliefs shape resilience, and practical tools to enhance inner strength.
Huberman delves into the neuroscience and psychology behind willpower and tenacity, distinguishing them from mere motivation. He addresses critical questions, like whether willpower is finite and the implications of the “ego depletion” theory. He also discusses the role of beliefs in shaping our willpower and tenacity, highlighting the mental frameworks that govern our resilience.
Furthermore, Huberman explores the neural foundations of willpower in the brain and body, linking these concepts to sleep, stress, focus, and even lifespan. This holistic approach aligns well with psychosynthesis’s view of the interconnectedness of different aspects of the self.
Most importantly, the episode offers practical, science-backed tools and protocols that you can put into practice. If you are seeking to strengthen your will, these strategies could be invaluable.
