How to Develop a Growth Mindset (and Set Yourself Up for Life Success)

Growth mindset is a term coined by American Psychologist Carol Dweck in her 2007 book, "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success". With this mindset we can navigate life and ultimately find success.

Today’s podcast explores the benefits of having a growth mindset, everyday examples and most importantly, practical tips on how to develop one.

Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset

Generally speaking, there are two kinds of mindsets; fixed mindset and growth mindset.

What is a Fixed Mindset?

A fixed mindset is referred to as the belief that everyone is born with traits like intelligence, creativity and certain talents that are "fixed" and cannot be learned or developed over time.

You are just born with it and that's how you are, but the problem is, it is very restricting and limits human potential (according to criticism by various researchers).

What is a Growth Mindset?

On the other hand, a growth mindset is the belief that your abilities can be developed through your effort and hard work. Our environment also plays a major role in shaping it.

Humans are flexible like that. My mind was blown when I learned about neuroplasticity — the concept that the brain, in response to the environmental triggers, is capable of modifying, changing and adapting both structurally and functionally throughout our lifespan.
