Self-Improvement

Mindsets can be described as life-changing, miracle-cure thought processes with vague and fluffy brilliance. In reality, Mindsets have a lot of answers to very powerful core elements of our behaviours. They are extremely important to understand. It's also important to not misuse them. Let's dig into:
What exactly is and isn't a Mindset.
Common Mindset myths
What to look out for as bad science and lies

 We also dig into some of the most popular mindset pairs that are regularly mis-understood and mis-used:
Fixed vs Growth mindset
Scarcity vs Abundance Mindset
Closed vs Open Mindset
