So many of us are operating out of a fixed mindset-where we believe our abilities and qualities are unchangeable. We operate in this thinking without even noticing how detrimental it can be to our performance and motivation. In this podcast, I discuss what a fixed mindset is versus a growth mindset, and why praising people (especially children) for their ability hinders their performance and sets them up for failure down the road. I draw on concepts from Carol Dweck's book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. I hope you enjoy this episode and that it gives you some serious food for thought!
