Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement

A Curios Thing About Your Ego (and 3 ways to turn it down)


Listen Later

The ego is more unruly than you think. We dissect how it works and how to make it work for you.


When you don't watch it carefully your brain will trick you into thinking it knows things it doesn't. This can lead to all sorts of disasters.

Learn 3 ways that your ego get's in the way of real growth and learning and how to build a stronger and more open mindset.

Lessons:

  • Create Space: Begin by admitting what you don't know to open the door for discovery.

  • Embrace the Amateur: Find the edge of your ability, for that is where all meaningful growth begins.

  • Facilitate, Don't Force: Guide others to their own insights instead of delivering yours fully formed.
