Learned Helplessness and Learned Optimism - Unleash Awesomeness

The story of the growth mindset is rooted in our understanding of learned helplessness and learned optimism. Our tendency to learn to accept a situation and give up on changing it is the root of a fixed mindset. Our ability to behave optimistically and learn to seek new solutions to recurring problems is the root of a Growth mindset. The concept of a Growth Mindset was developed by Carol Dweck expanding on the previous work of Martin Seligman to create a deeper understanding of success and achievement. In this episode, we dive into the work that helped lay the ground for the true self-improvement movement from a psychological perspective and set the foundations of understanding for the podcast.
