In This Interview, Carol Dweck and I Discuss Fixed and Growth Mindset and …
Her book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
How in the growth mindset we believe in our ability to grow and change
In the fixed mindset we become afraid to not know or to fail
Listening to and accepting what our minds think
Learning to talk back to our default mindset
Recognizing that we have a choice of our mindset
How we can have a fixed and growth mindset in different areas of our lives
A growth mindset doesn’t say that there aren’t differences in skills and ability
How people with the fixed mindset are not inspired by role models
The mindset approach can be used in regards to personality
That teenagers that are taught the growth mindset are less likely to become depressed
Learning to use the growth mindset
In a growth mindset we can see criticism as feedback, as a way to change
Relationships grow better in a growth mindset
