MIND

A guide to using your mind well

Our mind has awesome powers. The way that it functions impacts how we see the world. It can take us to places both wonderful and woeful. We can be positive, negative, hopeful, hopeless – it all depends on our outlook.

It is our curiosity that inspires us to learn new things about the world, and ourselves. We will explain the difference between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset, and see how asking questions can help us develop as a person. 

Being able to press pause and be mindful of who we are and how we are living is so important. Let’s have a look at how to embrace the now so we can move forward to the future with a clearer mind.

Chosen by Fortune Magazine as one of “10 New Gurus You Should Know”, Fogg directs the Persuasive Tech Lab at Stanford University.
