The Growth Mind Set

David Yager is a psychology professor at u t austen. He and his collaborator, the renowned standford professor, carol dweck, study how our so called mind set can influence our behavior. They've found that the way we think about a challenge can make a huge difference in how well we get through it. Helping my students develop a growth mind set can lower the likelihood that they'll shut down when the going gets tough. And developing a growthmind set can also have lots of benefits for your personal life and happiness too.
