How to Master Growth Mindset to Improve Performance | Dr. David Yeager

In this episode, my guest is Dr. David Yeager, Ph.D., professor of
psychology at the University of Texas, Austin, and the author of
the forthcoming book "10 to 25." We discuss how people of any age
can use growth mindset and stress-is-enhancing mindsets to improve
motivation and performance. We explain the best mindset for mentors
and being mentored and how great leaders motivate others with high
standards and support. We also discuss why a sense of purpose is
essential to goal pursuit and achievement. Whether you are a
parent, teacher, boss, coach, student or someone wanting to improve
a skill or overcome a particular challenge, this episode provides
an essential framework for adopting performance-enhancing mindsets
leading to success. For show notes, including referenced articles,
