Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement

Growth Mindset Psychology

1 Creator

There are a lot of opinions on how to master your mind, but then there’s PSYCHOLOGY. We’re all stuck with the brain we’re born with, but we aren’t stuck with how we use it. Learn science-backed answers to make the most of your mind and your life. CURIOUS? Growth Mindset Psychology is the "self-help sceptic" podcast for the curious. Whether you want to improve performance, navigate setbacks, or know who you are. We find answers to the true science of self-improvement. So put down the astrology chart and start working with your mind, instead of against it. With over 8 million downloads and 60,000 monthly listeners, you’re invited to join. PROCESS Instead of telling you what to think, we discuss how thinking works. Armed with a stack of science journals, textbooks and a boatload of curiosity, we uncover the mechanics of the mind. Why? >>> Success is personal! You might want to make the most of your neurodiverse strengths, start a business, or simply find more reasons to smile. Hone your ability for independent thinking and growth with mental models to pursue your definition of success. HOST I’m Sam Webster Harris, a lifelong learner with ADHD, a raging curiosity, and an obsession with finding answers to hard questions. After launching several businesses, travelling the world and nearly dying a few times I concluded that science and Psychology are where it’s at. What actually makes people happy? What’s the best way to treat a brain? How can I get more done? Studying the answers we find that changing behaviours requires building mindsets, mental models, and a healthy relationship with failure. I run the show to help listeners enjoy nutritious content that feeds their minds (and I needed a legitimate excuse to cover for my reading addiction).

125: How to do relationships - Jonathan Aslay - Relationships coach and author - 'What the heck is self love anyway'

Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement

07/13/20 • 46 min

Jonathon AslayThe focus of one of America's Leading Mid-Life Dating Coaches has expanded into a deeper, essential philosophy of what it truly means to LOVE.After losing his 19-year-old son Connor in 2018, Jonathon Aslay’s grief led him on a soul-searching inner journey, where he became aware of an often-overlooked dimension of the dating conversation.Jonathon realized that the process of dating reveals the most common emotional health issue faced by many singles seeking a partner: a distressing lack of self-worth, self-regard, and self-love.Today, Jonathon is on a mission of encouraging both men and women to fully love themselves with a new book, "What The Heck Is Self-Love Anyway?"—packed with fun, engaging spiritual and personal growth practices—his dynamic Mid-Life Love Mastery mentorship program, that inspires hundreds of people daily, around the world, and his new podcast, What Would Love Do?Jonathon and What the Heck is Self-Love Anyway?What The Heck Is Self-Love Anyway?

This is the smartest investment you would make. You are your most important source of welath, not your business, not your boss, nobody but you. The best way to achieve a better quality life, to be successful, productive, and satisfied is to prioritize on investing in both personal and professional growth.Self-care is a non-negotiable. Investing in self-care is essential because it creates the environment and habits that help you be your best self. Investing in yourself - mind, body and spirit - not only shapes the way you interact with the outside world, it often reflects the opinion you have of yourself.A large part of your future is determined by your willingness and ability to invest in yourself now.

Therefore, we often don’t value the precious benefits of slow growth.We now expect that nearly everything should happen fast and with little or no inconvenience that we forget that slow, imperfect progress is better than none at all. Slow growth can be confusing and frustrating, but, at the end, growth is always good - no matter how slow you progress.Resiliency is key for startupsEntrepreneurship is obviously challenging. To be successful in building your business, you must be resilient. Building a business, managing employees, expanding customer or client bases, developing products and services – these are all the types of responsibilities that can eat away at a founder’s mental and emotional fortitude.Don’t let the threat of failure stop you; instead, be motivated to find solutions and advance toward your goal. It’s much more important for entrepreneurs to be able to tough it out.

Wake yourself up and reassure yourself that you’re not just here to go through the motions. You’re here for a purpose! If you keep doing things the same way you always have, you will easily find things to be meaningless or even depressing. To feed your creativity, you have to step out and try new things.Don’t be afraid of new experiences. Don’t live your life with regrets. Push your comfort zone and try new things. A better version of yourself starts at the edge of your comfort zone.Be coachableTo be coachable means to lack arrogance and defensiveness and you check your pride and ego at the door. It means you don’t judge your coaches approach but try and adapt to it. When you allow someone to coach you, you allow that person to contribute to the situation, problem or decisions you need to face. It means you allow their point of view to shape the choices you make and actions you take.The best professionals at all levels require coaching to improve and they know it.SyncifyAn app that lets you be social at a distance.

177: Mind love - Melissa Monte, Host of Mind Love Podcast

Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement

07/06/21 • 19 min

Melissa Monte A keynote speaker, entrepreneur, and the host of the popular podcast “Mind Love”. Melissa is obsessed with learning what makes us humans tick. After spending too long as a guinea pig for bad decisions, she learned first hand how to undo a downward spiral. She’s now spent the last 16 years exploring methods of improving the human condition.

Top Takeaways: Hitting rock bottom undeniably put her life in such a tumultuous state, but has definitely brought her into a place she never imagined. Indeed, life can be hard, but in time, everything will fall into place. To love ourselves, it is important to constantly seek introspection to keep ourselves in check. Be accountable for your mistakes. Don’t let your failures affect what you are capable of.

Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement

10/08/24 • 27 min

Being who you were meant to be Vs. Choosing who you get to be.

There is a lot of content about finding yourself. There is also a lot of content about success and greatness and how brilliant leaders forged a new path or "Put a dent in the Universe"...

What if we are thinking about it completely wrong?

In this episode, we explore different ways of thinking about success and the common connections between ideas and people who break out and defy the odds.

The Psychology of Mistakes - 7 Ways To Fix Lazy Thinking

Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement

10/29/24 • 34 min

We celebrate 'hard work" but forget to consider the benefits of thinking "hard thoughts".

This episode teaches how to navigate uncertainty without taking easy options by building a capacity for complexity.

Allow doubt to improve our decisions
Understand multiple causes behind outcomes
Reduce judgement of others
Improve your field of vision
Weight statistics properly
Take ownership of forming opinion without using others
Accept lower confidence and greater accuracy

The mind is full of complexity and it relentlessly tries to optimise and take shortcuts. This serves is well in many aspects but cultivating a practice of taking the harder path in our thinking allows us to see hidden truths behind out assumptions.

To arrive at better decisions we need to learn to balance uncertainty with statistics and see beyond our limited field of view. It isn't easy but the benefits can greatly improve your outcomes and your mindsets.
