Growth Through Discomfort and Connection
Shifting the mindset about learning can significantly enhance engagement and motivation, as students who view challenges as opportunities for discomfort and growth demonstrate increased interest in their studies.

Additionally, collaboration in tasks, as illustrated by variations of the marshmallow experiment, shows that working together can enhance perseverance and self-control, suggesting that social connections play a crucial role in maintaining motivation.
