Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement

4 Mindsets Proven To Radically Improve Your Life w/ Ryan Gottfredson


Listen Later

Research has shown 4 mindset pairs as recurring themes for success in life and leadership:

  • Fixed vs. Growth Mindset
  • Closed vs. Open Mindset
  • Prevention vs. Promotion Mindset
  • Inward vs. Outward Mindset

  • By looking into the science of how these mindsets show up in our lives we can build a more robust approach to success and happiness. These mindsets affect how we show up, how easy we are to get on with, and our relationship with fear.

    Ryan Gottfredson PhD is a researcher, author and consultant who helps leaders develop their skills and success.

    He joins the show to discuss his research and work for his book on the mindsets for success for leaders and in all life.
