Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement

4 Hidden Fears That Secretly Sabotage Your Life (And what to do about them)


Listen Later

A masterclass on our hidden mindsets and diagnosing the real problems behind our internal blockers.


Your mind lies to you about what you can and can't do and creates infinitely logical reasons to hide your real fears.


To overcome the real blockers in achieving our goals, we need to spend less time diagnosing external problems and more time understanding what's happening inside us. Humans are ultimately driven by underlying fear and desire, coming up with reasons that ignore this is hiding the truth.


We explore the 4 core fears behind our everyday decisions and actions so we can unburden ourselves from limitations:

  1. Fear of Failure - Operating in survival mode
  2. Fear of Uncertainty - The silent killer of dreams
  3. Fear of Embarrassment - Appearance problems
  4. Fear of Success - The unexpected fear

  5. Webster explores how these fears are deeply entrenched in a fixed mindset, making them appear more rational than they are. Learn practical strategies to convert these fears into opportunities for growth, transform your mindset, and take bold steps toward your true potential.


    In summary, a powerful and practical guide to overcoming the psychological barriers that hold you back.
