Deep Dive

Chapters
Growth mindset is the belief that abilities can change with the right support. It's not about trying hard and achieving anything, but rather understanding that change is possible. A key aspect of growth mindset is focusing on improvement strategies rather than dwelling on failures.
  • Growth mindset interventions lasting only 25 minutes have shown positive impacts on student grades and course selection for up to four years.
  • Individuals with a growth mindset tend to seek improvement strategies from those performing better, while those with a fixed mindset compare themselves to lower performers.
  • The brain, like a muscle, can grow stronger with challenges and support.
