Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement

Journey vs. Destination - Optimising the right things


Listen Later

Goals are important to achieve, but they can distract us from living a life of meaning. Chasing the wrong things is a sure way to waste your life. 


Make better decisions by improving your mindset and appreciating what's important to you. Learn to focus your time and energy on the journeys you want to take instead of getting lost seeking goals to please others.
