Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement

How to stop self-deception and narrow minded thinking


Listen Later

Self-deception and narrow-minded thinking are not only things that happen around us all the time but creep into our own way of thinking.


The book "Leadership and self-deception" explains how to break out of inward thinking and develop an outward mindset to help improve your relationships and results at work and at home


Heather Adams of the Harbinger Institute joins the Growth mindset podcast to explain how they coach leaders to develop an outward mindset for themselves and their employees.


This is an insightful episode on the practicalities of humility and empathy and how to uncover our own lies and become aware of our own psychology and flaws.

On the growth mindset podcast with Sam Webster Harris, we explore the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement. Success and happiness is a state of mind unique to ourselves and is our responsibility to create.


Through a process of honest self-reflection of what is holding us back and what is driving us forward, we can lose the ego and build awareness of how to be the best we can be.
