Fixed vs. Growth MindsetsThere are two types of people in this world, those with a fixed mindset and those with a growth mindset. Perhaps unsurprisingly, people with a growth mindset tend to be happier, more satisfied, and more at peace than their fixed-mindset colleagues. Self-Awareness and Self-CompassionGiven the benefits of the growth mindset, it begs the question: Why do people tend to default to a fixed mindset? On the other side of the spectrum, growth mindset individuals possess the self-awareness necessary to learn from setbacks. Growth mindset individuals possess the capacity to identify, accept, and ultimately overcome their shortcomings.
