> Mindset is a simple idea discovered by world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck in decades of research on achievement and success—a simple idea that makes all the difference.
> In a fixed mindset, people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. They spend their time documenting their intelligence or talent instead of developing them. They also believe that talent alone creates success—without effort. They’re wrong.
> In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment. Virtually all great people have had these qualities.

Anyone read this?
Horribly oversimplified observation... tl;dr-- kids who were praised with "you are really smart" by their parents tend to have difficult time undertaking new challenges that threaten their self-esteem.
Kids who were told "you worked really hard" tend to have an easier time undertaking new challenges that threaten their self-esteem.
Any of you have this problem where the fear of failing subconsciously paralyzes you from doing an activity or hobby? I'm 30 years old and found myself having panic attack when I signed up for a once a week foreign language course. As retarded as this sounds, I was sitting there in my kitchen staring at chapter one and actually broke into a sweat. Trying to figure out why- someone recommended this. All my life I was told I was "really smart", yet I almost dropped out college and haven't succeeded at learning anything new beyond Dwarf Fortress and Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.
Any of you familiar with Carol Dweck's work?

just be yourself

More bullshit about unlocking our true potential, bunch of crap, no mindset will fix your lack of intelligence.

I was the smart kid too but as it turns out words are fucking useless (and I ate shit, academically), so now I dont really care for compliments or anything like that. Just get shit done and shut off the noise.
Havent read the book, but its very proven how you think and feel does influence your actions. I suppose in my case I thought evrything was a given, rip young me (glad he's dead)

Awesome, dont forget to tell your friends!
It sounds obvious as hell but really, people tell themselves stupid and degrading shit all the time, and thusly end up going nowhere. If your thinking is shit then your actions will be shit, that's the bottom line.

This is basic CBT without the exercises. Which is all well and good if you want to be productive but it deals with nothing beyond surface concerns

Garbage. Get a self-help book from before 1940. Things after that are 50/50. Anything published in the past 40 years is detrimental to your well-being.
>it's my parent fault that they loved me
You do realise the purpose of these books is to get you into therapy or on medication?

Any idea how to self-CBT... oneself?
>>
>>9856445
There are loads of cbt books out there used by practitioners. I can't recommend because because I only half assed it and only marginally use the techniques now, they're effective I guess but don't be fooled, it's popularity is down to getting you back to productive work, not curing your depressive anxieties
