Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement
The Psychology of Improving What you Create
07 Nov 2023
Do you ever feel like your work just isn't good enough? We have a natural urge to play it safe and avoid rejection. But playing it safe will never produce work that resonates deeply. In this episode, we break down the mindsets and strategies of the world's most successful creators. Learn how to adopt a founder's mentality, tap into human psychology, and conduct rapid experiments that help you achieve product-market fit. Discover strategies for standing out, crafting work that resonates at a deeply human level and understand why "good enough" will never be good enough. It's time to step up your game and have the courage to constantly evolve rather than playing it safe. - - - 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: Sam's newsletter on creativity - Explosive Thinking Watch the pod - YouTube (Growth Mindset) Twitter - @samjamharris Instagram - @SamJam.zen Youtube - @Samjam - - - Show: Growth Mindset, psychology of self-improvement Episode: The Psychology of Creating Viral Content Chapters: 0:00 Sharing Ideas 01:11 How to Get Better at Doing Stuff 01:27 Product Market Fit 03:08 The Mom Test 04:22 Iterating Your Idea 06:14 Feedback is a Gift 07:19 Growing the Growth Mindset Podcast 09:45 If Your Work isn't Growing, It's Dying 10:15 Biggest Myth in Content Creation 11:54 Don't Feel Any Attachment to Any Ideas You Have 14:15 Stop Making Excuses 15:31 Lessons from Mr. Beast 16:51 Don't be Insane 18:15 Send Off Learn more about your ad choices.
