#508: Stanford Researcher Dr. Mary Murphy on How to Cultivate a Growth Mindset

Recently I chatted with Stanford researcher Dr. Mary Murphy, a renowned expert in the field of psychological and brain sciences.

Dr. Murphy, who is a Professor at Indiana University and conducts research at Stanford University, shared insights into the concepts of fixed mindset and growth mindset.

We deep dived into her extensive research on how these mindsets impact motivation, performance, and relationships at work and home.

She conducted research alongside legendary psychologist Dr. Carol Dweck, who created the original studies around fixed vs. growth mindset.

If you’ve ever read about fixed vs. growth mindset in the past, you’ve undoubtedly heard of Carol Dweck, who is legendary in the space. Dr. Dweck mentored Dr. Murphy at Stanford, the university from which Dr. Murphy received her Ph.D.

Dr. Murphy’s insights can help you cultivate a growth mindset to overcome challenges and achieve your goals.

If you want to improve your performance — at work, at home, at the gym, as a world traveler, as an investor, or in any other domain — understanding the research behind mindset is critical.

We’ll also cover:

How do we get our understanding of mindset wrong? – 03:42

Thinking about mindset on a continuum – 07:02

How behaviors shape mindset – 09:28

How mindset affects our money decisions – 15:12

The four triggers that can influence our mindset: 25:52

And SO much more! Enjoy!
