Publisher’s Summary

What if everything you thought about time was wrong—and the key to scaling your company faster isn’t more hustle, but a radical shift in how you relate to time itself?

In this groundbreaking audio original from organizational psychologist Dr. Benjamin Hardy and entrepreneur Blake Erickson, you’ll learn how elite performers, visionary founders, and world-class teams move faster by thinking differently.

Drawing from cutting-edge psychology, business strategy, and real-world experience scaling companies, Dr. Hardy and Erickson deliver a mind-expanding playbook to help you slow time down, filter the noise, and accelerate results. Whether you’re a founder, team leader, or high-performer in growth mode, this is the reset your calendar—and your company—has been waiting for.

You’ll Learn:

  • Why your future is the ultimate filter for decision-making—and how to build a future so compelling it reshapes your present.
  • How to manipulate the “speed of time” to generate 10, 20, even 30 years of growth in a fraction of the time.
  • The power of extreme deadlines to eliminate inefficiency, boost clarity, and surface the crux that unlocks exponential momentum.
  • Strategies to duplicate your time by leveraging other people’s knowledge, resources, and networks for faster scaling.
  • How to master your past so it fuels your growth rather than holding you back.
  • Real-world examples from Joseph Nguyen and other high-performing entrepreneurs.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying

5/5 stars — “Inspiring!”
Loved the interviews with actual scalers even though I’ve heard the stories in his other books, the questions asked and answered were really meaningful .

— Cari C, Audible listener

5/5 stars — “Excellent addition to Hardy’s work and valued Blake’s contributions”
I’ve followed Dr Hardy for at least the last 6 years and I can’t get enough of his work and ideas. He synthesizes so many useful ideas and technologies centered around expanding as a human being and seeing the world differently and in a much more useful way. I like how direct and simply he communicates modern positive psychology. Even if you’re not running a business this work can help you a lot. I look forward to working with Scaling.com on my next business.

— Matthew Robinson, Audible listener

5/5 stars — “Great book/recording”
A lot of the book is more like a podcast/discussion but really valuable and interesting. I would prefer it without the religion but the rest was inspiring, and I’ve already come up with my 10x goal!

— S. Merkel, Audible listener
