ChatGPT for Radical Self-betterment

TL;DR: Today we’re releasing a new episode of our podcast How Do You Use ChatGPT? I go in depth with Dr. Gena Gorlin, a clinical psychologist at the University of Texas at Austin whose goal is to raise the ceiling on human potential. We have a wide-ranging discussion on how to use ChatGPT for goal setting, yearly planning, and radical self-betterment. Watch on X or YouTube, or listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

Dr. Gena Gorlin wants to raise the ceiling on human potential. 

She’s a clinical psychologist at the University of Texas at Austin, a prolific writer on Substack and Every, and—now—a power user of ChatGPT. She and I recently spent a week together merging our mutual interest in psychology with the best of AI—and she’s taken that experience and run with it. 

In this interview, we talk about how ChatGPT has become a key tool in her quest for radical self-betterment. We do an over-the-shoulder screen share where she feeds the tool a list of her old journal entries, and we watch as ChatGPT conducts the most thorough and insightful annual review and goal-setting session you’ve ever seen. It writes a year-by-year personal biography of her life, helps her set goals for 2024, and points out blindspots she might’ve missed.

It’s a small taste of what we’re covering in the course we’re teaching, Maximize Your Mind With ChatGPT, and it left me more enthusiastic than ever about the potential for AI to help humans evolve and flourish.
