Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement

What is a Mindset Exactly? 🤨


Listen Later

Mindsets can be described as life-changing, miracle-cure thought processes with vague and fluffy brilliance.

In reality, Mindsets have a lot of answers to very powerful core elements of our behaviours. They are extremely important to understand. It's also important to not misuse them.

Let's dig into:

  • What exactly is and isn't a Mindset.
  • Common Mindset myths
  • What to look out for as bad science and lies

  • We also dig into some of the most popular mindset pairs that are regularly mis-understood and mis-used:

    • Fixed vs Growth mindset
    • Scarcity vs Abundance Mindset
    • Closed vs Open Mindset
