Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement
Education:Self-Improvement
What not to do is often the best guide and you don't want to fall into the incredibly common spiral discussed in this episode. We incrementally fall into bad habits that creep up on us and just when we have the option to do something we instead blame everything else.
Learn how to build mental strength and resilience and escape the trap of victimization and depression.
This episode features the writing from the adventurer and philosopher Alastair Humphreys, his post "The Three Stages of Flabiness" from the book "There are Other Rivers"
On the growth mindset podcast with Sam Webster Harris, we explore the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement. Success and happiness is a state of mind unique to ourselves and is our responsibility to create.
Through a process of honest self-reflection of what is holding us back and what is driving us forward, we can lose the ego and build awareness of how to be the best we can be.
