Self-deception and narrow-minded thinking are not only things that happen around us all the time but creep into our own way of thinking. The book "Leadership and self-deception" explains how to break out of inward thinking and develop an outward mindset to help improve your relationships and results at work and at home Heather Adams of the Harbinger Institute joins the Growth mindset podcast to explain how they coach leaders to develop an outward mindset for themselves and their employees. This is an insightful episode on the practicalities of humility and empathy and how to uncover our own lies and become aware of our own psychology and flaws. - - - 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. - - - Connect with Sam Webster Harris 🧘‍♀️ Newsletter: https://explosivethinking.substack.com/ 🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/samjamharris 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/samjam.zen/ - - - Stay up to date: 🤓🤓🤓 💡 Podsite: https://www.growthmindsetpodcast.com/ Epic books on growth 📚📚🐐 🏃‍♀️ Atomic Habits: https://amzn.to/3O1F5MC 🧠 Mindset, psychology of success: https://amzn.to/42nYDzj 💰 Psychology of Money: https://amzn.to/3nNnXzs - - - Show: Growth Mindset, psychology of self-improvement Episode: How to stop self-deception and narrow-minded thinking - the outward mindset 00:00 Empathy and honesty 01:30 The harbinger institute and Heather Adams 02:40 Why we focus on ourselves 09:05 The benefit of learning from others 12:17 The flaws of an Outward Mindset 16:27 How to use meditation 19:18 ADVERT 20:23 Cycling backward brain processing psychology experiment on youtube 30:35 Scientific research in mindsets 30:51 ADVERT 32:40 Military hospital scientific research experiment of mindsets 34:00 Inward mindset styles 39:46 The role of mindsets for business and startup founders 43:27 Lessons from the psychology of Mindsets interview Topics Leadership and self-deception, Inward and outward mindset, Fixed and growth mindset, psychology of mindset and self-improvement, Building empathy in relationships, Qualities of a leader, Fixing relationships, The biggest problems for teams, Uncovering the ego, building awareness, the science of meditation, how to get benefits from meditation, the benefit of coaching for companies, business coaching, leadership coaching, relationship coaching, positive thinking, Harbinger Institute, Learn more about your ad choices.
