  • The Fulcrum & The Lever:

    Fixed Mindset vs Growth Mindset 

    “Those with a fixed mindset believe that their capabilities are already set, while those with a growth mindset believe that they can enhance their basic qualities through effort. A growth mindset is not dismissive of innate ability; it merely recognizes, as Dweck Explains, that ‘although people may differ in every which way- in their initial talents and aptitudes, interests, or temperaments- everyone can change and grow through application and experience.” Pg. 76 (The Happiness Advantage, 2010).
