Today's episode.

Inside my new book. chapter one is called "5 Health Secrets Parents, Physical Education Teachers, and Students don't know about." This episode is Secret # 2.

This is what it is called:

"A growth mindset, not a fixed mindset, is the only thinking pattern you can have if you are to make progress towards being physically healthy."

Carol Dweck is a Professor of Psychology at Lewis and Virginia Eaton, Stanford University (2004 - Present), which is just outside of San Francisco, USA. She is leading the field of research on how to achieve a growth mindset. We need this strategy now more than ever with all school-aged children across the world. It is the reason I call it HEALTH SECRET # 2. We must have this as a focal point; our children are going down a path where they are most are predestined to end up inside what I call THE DISEASE FUNNEL. 

Here are Professor Dweck's main ideas in three sentences.

1. Skills can be cultivated through effort. 
2. People with a growth mindset thrive on challenges.                       
3. The fixed mindset: “I can’t do it.” The growth mindset: “I can’t do it yet.”

Here are five big ideas from Professor Dweck's work.                                                     

1. The view you adopt for yourself profoundly affects the way you lead your life.
2. “Believing that your qualities are carved in stone—the fixed mindset—creates an urgency to prove yourself over and over.”
3. “People in a growth mindset don’t just seek challenges; they thrive on it.
4. “The growth mindset does allow people to love what they’re doing—and to continue to love it in the face of difficulties.”
5. “Those with the growth mindset found success in doing their best, in learning and improving."
