In this episode of the Success Fundamentals, Brian talks to trained psychologist and host of the Psychology at Work podcast, Dr. Casey Lankow. Casey gives us a psychologist’s perspective on what drives adaptability. For Casey, it all boils down to how we look at ourselves, and whether or not we know and accept its effects on our self-image that dictates how we respond to change.
HIGHLIGHTS

- Why do we love routines?
- Humans are social animals with social needs
- Success is defined by having a sense of self-acceptance
- Adaptability is a muscle that can be built over time
- Our personalities are defense mechanisms
- It always comes back to our identity
QUOTES
Casey: "I think it's important to just always return to that central idea, which is our brain's first reaction to any change is always going to be: this is a disruption. Because our brains are sort of wired to be as efficient as they can be. So brains, they like routine. They like not having to expend extra energy on thinking through, well, how do I do this?"
Casey: "The degree to which I know and accept myself, determines the degree to which I know and accept others. In my context, success for a human would be getting to a point where there's more and more regularity to having moments of knowing that I am good enough."
Casey: "It's not the new way of doing something that makes adapting difficult. It's the split second disruptive reaction and the question that's going on in my head: what does this mean about who I am now? It always comes down to our identity."
Casey: "Our personalities as individuals is nothing more than a defense and a survival mechanism for the environment that we came to be in. If we didn't have to protect ourselves in certain ways, we would all be down in the middle. But these strong characteristics that develop are reactions and responses to the environment that we found ourselves in."
