The world is divided between people who are open to learning and those who are close to it, and this trait affects everything from your worldview to your interpersonal relationships.

Those who view their personality or intelligence as unshakable have a "fixed mindset." They believe that neither personality nor intelligence is subject to change and they feel the need to prove themselves constantly in all situations. People with a fixed mindset often develop this outlook at an early age, usually due to some influence from their teachers or parents. 

Alternately, people with a "growth mindset" believe that they can improve or change their personality characteristics over time. They believe that the future offers opportunities to grow, even during challenging times.

In this episode, we will differentiate a fixed mindset from a growth mindset, and we will learn how to cultivate a growth mindset.
