Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement

How To Gracefully Deal With Life Problems


Listen Later

A 3 part decision framework to understand and solve any frustration.


Ultimately all problems are a perception of the mind. Sometimes there is a way around or through the problem that we can't see.


This episode Sam Webster explores a framework to help us diagnose the problem we are experiencing so we can correctly deal with it.

  1. Problems we want to have - Small problems that are connected to a bigger goal we want (see the last episode)
  2. Problems we can't change - Realities of life we need to accept
  3. Problems we don't want to have - Actual problems we need to creatively and logically solve

  4. This episode covers the whole framework with details on steps 2 and 3. To listen to the full set of ideas for part one see the last episode on real advice to build gratitude that doesn't suck.
