Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement

The price of admission: Success has a cost


Listen Later

Success has a price. We often don't realise the costs of what we want and expect things to be perfect.


Relationships will always have some problems where the positive outweighs the negative yet we obsess on fixing the flaws instead of embracing them.


There are many other none prominent areas in life where things won't be perfect but we can learn to be happier and more relaxed by embracing problems as a price we need to pay instead of as a downside.
