The Problem with the Growth Mindset

The growth mindset, when taken to the extreme, can lead to a constant need for improvement, making it challenging to acknowledge and savor success or feel a sense of inner abundance. Capitalism's focus on scarcity exacerbates this issue, as it thrives on the idea of continuous growth. This relentless pursuit of progress can hinder one's ability to appreciate their achievements and feel content.
