Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement
Education:Self-Improvement
Do you make snap judgments or quick assumptions? Our brains take mental shortcuts that lead to prejudice.
In this episode, we discuss the psychology behind prejudices and why they go undetected. Discover how social norms and ego reinforce biased thinking. Learn why flexible mindsets and new experiences are key to countering prejudice.
We offer perspective on how "good taste" develops through breaking habits and conscious effort. Our goal is to help you recognize prejudices influencing your life - from communication to major decisions - so you can escape filter bubbles and become a more objective thinker. Tune in to better understand yourself and others.

On the growth mindset podcast with Sam Webster Harris, we explore the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement. Success and happiness is a state of mind unique to ourselves and is our responsibility to create.
Through a process of honest self-reflection of what is holding us back and what is driving us forward, we can lose the ego and build awareness of how to be the best we can be.
