Summary: <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://mindset.zone/book"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> “We can embrace mindsets as habits that our minds depend on—formed by previous experiences and the unconscious and conscious beliefs that we form along the way.”<br> Ana Melikian<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> I believe that leveraging our mindsets can allow us to release our potential as individuals, groups, and organizations. But before we can tap into it, we need to understand what a mindset is. <br> <br> <br> <br> The challenge lies in that there are as many definitions of mindset as there are mindset experts. So, when I was writing the introduction to the <a href="http://mindset.zone/book" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mindset Zone book</a>, I intentionally made a deep dive into the different meanings of mindset and organized them into three categories.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> In this episode, I define mindsets using three different approaches. I outline positive psychology’s description of mindset as a set of beliefs. I discuss how cognitive psychology sees mindsets as information-processing styles used to accomplish specific tasks. I describe organizational psychology’s view that mindsets are filters that inform our worldviews.<br> <br> <br> <br> I also share my own definition of mindset and underscore the Mindset Zone’s mission to help tap and release humanity’s potential.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> This week on The Mindset Zone:<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> * Identifying the three approaches to defining mindset<br> <br> <br> <br> * Mindsets and the human potential for learning and change<br> <br> <br> <br> * The “fixed” mindset and my self-perception about singing<br> <br> <br> <br> * The “growth” mindset and how dyslexia became my superpower<br> <br> <br> <br> * Cognitive psychology’s definition of mindset<br> <br> <br> <br> * How setting and implementing goals require different kinds of mindsets to be successful<br> <br> <br> <br> * The difference between “deliberative” and “implemental” mindsets<br> <br> <br> <br> * The value of knowing when to remain unfocused and focused<br> <br> <br> <br> * Tapping and releasing our human potential through self-development work and positive psychology<br> <br> <br> <br> * Understanding our nature as connecting beings<br> <br> <br> <br> * The different ways to unleash and amplify our potential as human beings<br> <br> <br> <br> * My definition of mindsets<br> <br> <br> <br> * Challenging our beliefs and expanding what’s possible<br> <br> <br> <br> * How learning about habit transformation can shift our mindset and lives<br> <br> <br> <br> * What it takes to evolve in a constantly and rapidly changing world<br> <br> <br> <br> * The mission of the Mindset Zone podcast<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://anamelikian.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ana-Defninf-Mindset.jpg"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Resources Mentioned:<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> * Book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Rethinking-Positive-Thinking-Science-Motivation/dp/1617230235/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=rethinking+positive+thinking&qid=1670821170&sprefix=rethinking+positive%2Caps%2C421&sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rethinking Positive Thinking: Inside the New Science of Motivation</a> by Gabriele Oettingen<br> <br> <br> <br> * Book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mindset-Psychology-Carol-S-Dweck/dp/0345472322/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+new+psychology+of+success&qid=1670820860&sprefix=the+new+psycholo%2Caps%2C366&sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mindset: The New Psychology of Success</a> by Carol Dweck<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>
