Published: Aug. 25, 2023, 9:20 a.m.

We all experience disasters in our lives where we must keep control, embrace challenges, and choose happiness over victimhood.\nIn this episode of the Growth Mindset, we are guided by the brilliant Gina Gardiner. Despite a crippling ski accident when she was young, she became an award-winning headteacher and life coach. She helped inspire thousands of young minds and actively taught the Growth Mindset for many decades.\nShe shares her most inspiring lessons and stories of resilience and determination and focuses on teaching how to live a happy and fulfilling life, no matter what challenges we face.\nWe are the authors of our own life stories, and we can choose to be happy, no matter what. Gina also teaches us the importance of asking for help, and of surrounding ourselves with positive people.\n- - -\n\nOn the growth mindset podcast with Sam Webster Harris, we explore the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement. Success and happiness is a state of mind unique to ourselves and is our responsibility to create.\nThrough a process of honest self-reflection of what is holding us back and what is driving us forward, we can lose the ego and build awareness of how to be the best we can be.\n- - -\nConnect with Sam Webster Harris\n\U0001f9d8\u200d\u2640\ufe0f Newsletter: https://explosivethinking.substack.com/\n\U0001f426 Twitter: https://twitter.com/samjamharris\n\U0001f4f8 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/samjam.zen/\n- - -\nStay up to date: \U0001f913\U0001f913\U0001f913\n\U0001f4a1 Podsite: https://www.growthmindsetpodcast.com/\nEpic books on growth \U0001f4da\U0001f4da\U0001f410\n\U0001f3c3\u200d\u2640\ufe0f Atomic Habits: https://amzn.to/3O1F5MC\n\U0001f9e0 Mindset, psychology of success: https://amzn.to/42nYDzj\n\U0001f4b0 Psychology of Money: https://amzn.to/3nNnXzs\n- - -\nShow: Growth Mindset, psychology of self-improvement\nEpisode: Embracing Setbacks and Challenges Positively: Growth Mindset Essentials.
