#127 - The Overwhelm Crisis What's Making It Worse and the One Thing That Solves It
Get Clarity with Jamie Smart
👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: A while back I was coaching someone who'd been running a very specific strategy. The model looked something like this: you + a whole bunch of concepts, tools, skills, models and strategies = Super You. Sound familiar? The thing is - it wasn't working. And when I looked at why, something became obvious. He had the model completely back to front. In this episode of the podcast, Andrea and I dig into why that model makes overwhelm worse - not better - and what actually creates the clarity and discernment you need to navigate...

#126 - Extraordinary Brains, God-Like Tech - The Variable Nobody's Talking About
Get Clarity with Jamie Smart
A few weeks ago I mentioned we were working on a new podcast series called Exponential Clarity. The first episode is out. I wrote something in my book Results back in 2016 that I've been thinking about a lot lately: "Giving humanity exponential technology at our current level of consciousness is like giving a toddler a machine gun." I wrote that eight years before ChatGPT; before the wave we're living through right now. In this first episode, Andrea Deltetto and I dig into what that actually means - and why the gap between our technological capability and our understanding of our own...

#125 - The Bag Cannot Contain Itself" - Why Consciousness Can't Be in the Brain | Jamie Smart
Get Clarity with Jamie Smart
👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: A few weeks ago, I uploaded my books - Clarity and Results - to an AI assistant, made an assertion about the three principles and consciousness, and started a debate about the principles of psychology. At a certain point, the AI stopped and said: "I think you've just created a logical refutation of materialism." That conversation inspired me to write a philosophy paper - which I've just submitted to the journal Mind, published by Oxford University Press. It's called The Bag Cannot Contain Itself. In this clip, Andrea asks...

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: We're working on a new podcast called Exponential Clarity, and this is a sneak peek from the first episode. In this 5-minute clip, I unpack a statement that's been on my mind a lot lately: "We have extraordinary brains and God-like technology, but we're limited by a medieval understanding of our own minds and emotions." I think it matters more now than ever. Big love, Jamie

#123 - The Best Kept Secret in Psychology
Get Clarity with Jamie Smart
👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: www.JamieSmart.com Y esterday I was interviewed by my colleague and good friend Juliet O'Rourke - and at a certain point she asked me a question that many people wonder about. "If this understanding is so powerful - why isn't it more widely known?" In this short clip, I share three reasons why. One of them involves the story of a Dutch scientist in the 1600s, an assassination attempt on a US president, and a 20-year race between two rival teams of scientists. And why that story might tell us something important about where...

Get Clarity with Jamie Smart

This is a brief clip from that interview (11 minutes) that explores something fundamental about human nature and how we perceive ourselves. It touches on evolution, consciousness, and why most people spend their lives experiencing themselves through other people's eyes without even realizing it. And it points...

#121 - Shedding the Old Skin Before the New Can Emerge
Get Clarity with Jamie Smart
👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: I just recorded this about something I've been reflecting on as we move through January. 2025 was a bit choppy for me - and for a lot of people in my community. Lots of letting go. Lots of shedding old skin. And then my girlfriend reminded me: 2025 was the Chinese Year of the Snake. Snakes shed their skin. The old skin must be shed before the new can emerge. In this clip, I share what I've been seeing about this transition - and why 2026 (the Year of the Horse) feels like it's going to be very different. Big love,...

In this 10-minute extract from one of my advanced workshops, I explore a question that so many people quietly carry: Why does it so often feel like we’re not good enough?
The notion of “I’m not enough, but if I accomplish the right thing, then maybe one day I’ll be enough” is widespread — a meme embodied by billions. And it’s deeply life-sapping.
In this clip, you’ll hear about:
• Why so many of us pick up this belief without even realizing it
• How certain cultures sponsor their children in a very different way
• And what’s already true of you — before you achieve, accomplish, or prove anything
It’s a simple and profound exploration that goes right to the heart of what it means to be human.
