Show Notes
Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman is a psychologist, professor at Columbia University, best-selling author, and host of The Psychology Podcast. His work has reshaped how we think about intelligence, creativity, and self-actualization—and in this conversation, he brings those ideas to life.
In this episode, we explore topics like reframing trauma, overcoming a victim mindset, and building self-belief. Scott also shares insights from his new book Rise Above and explores how authenticity, flow, and the environment support personal growth.
