Adam Grant ON: Why Discomfort is the Key to Growth and Strategies for Unlocking Your Hidden Potential

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

NOTE

Feedback and Identity

Feedback should not be directly linked to one's identity but rather viewed as specific actions or moments, avoiding the tendency to internalize criticism. It is common to mistakenly perceive feedback as a reflection of our character, leading to feelings of shame. The misconception that mistakes define us can hinder personal growth. Research supports that people do not judge us as harshly as we perceive, with the overblown implications effect indicating that errors are not typically attributed to incompetence or a lack of character. Thus, detaching feedback from one's identity can facilitate a healthier approach to receiving advice and criticism.
