SEAN CROXTON
About this episode

Fundamentally, it’s all in the mind. Your life, success, and happiness are influenced and shaped by your thoughts. In this episode, Carol Dweck presents to us how your mind, your thoughts, and the beliefs you hold about yourself can change the course of your life. 


According to Carol Dweck, the key to surviving challenges, difficulties, and adversities lies in your mind, or the growth mindset. For Carol, having a growth mindset proved to be vital in facing different problems and distress. 


Simply put, you already have what it takes. Within you lies the strength and power you need to create your own destiny. Ultimately, the quality of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts—as you think, you become.
