16. The Ultimate Edge: Fixed vs Growth Mindset by Carol Dweck (Part One) The Unlimited Potential Show I Relatable Self Development
-
- Self-Improvement
If you’ve listened to The Unlimited Potential Show you’ve heard us talk about the importance of mindset and how it can make or break where you want to go in life. Today we start a two-part series going in-depth into which mindset is holding you back and what can slingshot you into success.
Carol Dweck is a Stanford Psychologist who has pioneered the idea of the ‘Fixed vs Growth Mindset.’ If you’ve ever said to yourself, “That’s just the way I am” then you may be a victim of a fixed mindset. We discuss the difference between a fixed and growth mindset, how you can identify them within yourself, and even how it may have been ingrained in us since elementary school.
Paying attention to your everyday life, what you say, how you behave, and what you think of yourself is a big indicator of where you are in your mindsets and how you can better yourself with just a few simple practices. You’ll learn how to differentiate in your own life where your mindsets differ and how you can improve in every area even if you previously thought it impossible.
So listen in as we deep dive into Carol Dweck’s book and analyze it with open minds and ears. For more information about the “Mindset” book, or more information about others we talk about in this episode check the links below.
