About this listen

Mindsets in human behaviour, distinguishing between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. The fixed mindset is characterised by the belief that intelligence and abilities are unchangeable traits, leading individuals to fear failure, avoid effort, and prioritise proving their existing worth. Conversely, the growth mindset views abilities as cultivatable through learning and hard work, fostering a love of challenges, resilience in the face of setbacks, and a focus on improvement. The author, who identifies with having changed from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset, examines how these beliefs impact various areas of life, including personal achievement, relationships, sports, and business leadership. Examples from education, corporate culture, and famous figures illustrate the pervasive effects of each mindset on coping mechanisms, motivation, and ultimate success.
