76: Why Mindset Doesn’t Work And What to Focus on Instead | Blair Dunkley
Manage episode 503956770 series 3557268
We’ve all been told to “change our mindset,” but Blair Dunkley makes a strong case for why mindset doesn’t actually work in today’s world and what to focus on instead.
Blair has spent decades researching behaviour and creating mind models: practical, flexible tools that help people move forward, stop self-sabotage, and build resilience in the face of life’s challenges.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why “mindset” is outdated and how mind models offer a more effective path
- How to stop focusing on fixing weaknesses and instead build on your strengths
- A simple but powerful shift from judgment to evaluation that changes everything
- The role of labelling emotions and why it creates more clarity than certainty
- Practical exercises to build confidence, adaptability, and real resilience
This is a conversation filled with fresh perspectives and tools you can immediately apply in your own life.
