Mindset refers to the collection of attitudes, beliefs, and thoughts that profoundly influence how an individual perceives and reacts to various situations, challenges, and opportunities. It shapes the way we interpret our experiences and can significantly affect our behaviour, decision-making, and ultimately, our outcomes. A [[Growth Mindset]] emphasises the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through dedication and hard work. In contrast, a [[Fixed Mindset]] assumes that talents and capabilities are static, limiting personal development and resilience. Cultivating a positive and adaptable mindset is crucial for personal growth, success, and adapting to change effectively. %%See also[[📚 Mindset_Dweck_2006]] for Fixed Mindset and Growth Mindset. %% Since one of the issues with the growth mindset is that you can take it a bit too far towards overconfidence the book [[📚 The Unfair Advantage_Ali,Kubba_2020|Unfair Advantage]] introduces the [[Reality Growth Mindset]] to strike a balance between self-awareness and self-belief. You might say the fixed mindset is about believing in luck and the growth mindset is about believing in hard work, whereas the reality-growth mindset leads to sustainable success empowered by your unfair advantages.
