Growth Mindset Psychology
About this episode

Life has a knack for springing disasters on us at the worst moments. If we are too fixed in our thinking and planning we break, if we can learn to be adaptable we can bend with the forces of chaos and make the best of any situation.


Life is short and learning to deal with the inevitable chaos with strength and positivity is an important skill to master.
