The Neuroscience of Growth Mindset, Learning and Behaviour Change

The Neuroscience of Growth Mindset, Learning and Behaviour Change

How to understand our brain chemistry and architecture and work with it to embrace challenges and learn

How our brain chemistry and architecture works are fascinating. It can also help us embrace challenges, learn faster and reconfigure our mindsets.


Today we are diving deep into how the brain lays down its wiring and builds beliefs and behaviour patterns. We can then better understand how our mindsets are formed, how they shape our outcomes and what we can do about them.


This is core knowledge for anyone wanting to invest in their personal journey and influence their outcomes in life. Instead of talking about opinions we are going straight to the source of the real science of self-improvement.
