Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement
The Neuroscience of Growth Mindset, Learning and Behaviour Change
30 Jul 2024
How our brain chemistry and architecture works are fascinating. It can also help us embrace challenges, learn faster and reconfigure our mindsets. Today we are diving deep into how the brain lays down its wiring and builds beliefs and behaviour patterns. We can then better understand how our mindsets are formed, how they shape our outcomes and what we can do about them. This is core knowledge for anyone wanting to invest in their personal journey and influence their outcomes in life. Instead of talking about opinions we are going straight to the source of the real science of self-improvement.
