Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement6 Aug 2024

How to Build Free Will & Self-Control [Psychology of Default Behaviours]

Developing the freedom to choose how you respond to situations in life is a core part of building a growth mindset. A fixed mindset approach leaves you at the mercy of events in life that will make you angry or sad and blame your circumstances with no control from you. A growth mindset allows you to build the space to determine how you react in any situation and be the person you want to be rather than the person the world pushes you to be. To achieve that we examine: The nature of Free Will and desire The role of our consciousness as an observer and actor Unconscious thought processes and behaviours How to master control of our responses in any situation How to observe physical and mental pain with curiosity This episode touches on some very important concepts deep in the fabric of our experiencing self as a human being. By understanding internal processes we can better control our actions and outcomes in life.
