Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement

Life Lesson: Unlearning Behaviours


Listen Later

What makes you... you? How much of that can you decide?


These are the big questions we tackle in this short Life Lesson bonus episode for some ideas to percolate over the weekend and take forward with us.


From the attachment styles we learnt as children to our accents and even how we think about learning. These are all behaviours that are up to us if we choose to be pro-active about how we show up in life and who we want to be.


We'll learn how to act consistently with compounding behaviours over time to build brick by brick the big changes we want to make. We'll build techniques to unlearn negative behaviors and utilise a Growth mindset to focus on positive development
