Jean Gomes is an author, researcher, and consultant focused on the science of mindset. He studied neuroscience before transitioning into consultancy, where he works with global corporations to transform leaders through mindset training. He is the founder of Outside, a company that offers programs like More Human, which aims to address issues of depletion, defensiveness, and disconnection by building mindsets of well-being through simple practices. 

 

Key Takeaways

  • The Connection of Neuroscience and Mindset: Your brain is a "prediction machine" and emotions provide valuable information to help navigate uncertainty.

  • Fixed vs Growth Mindsets: Purely behavioral approaches to change your mindset is limited. Jean emphasizes the importance of building self-awareness of underlying assumptions and emotional responses.

  • Negative Emotions are Important: They keep us alive and indicate core needs that aren't being met. Understanding them provides actionable information.

  • The Problem with a “Sacrifice” Mindset: Having a “Sufficiency Mindset,” that priorities meeting your needs enables greater creativity and innovation.

  • Wellbeing Through Simple Practices: Outside and Jean’s More Human program aims to address issues of depletion, defensiveness, and disconnection by building interoceptive awareness through daily consistent practices.
