Episode 4: The Science of Growth and Goals

Why do some goals energize us and others fizzle out? In this episode, we dive into some key theories of effective goal setting and sustaining motivation. Drawing from research on growth mindset, self-determination, self-concordance, approach goals, and incrementalism, we discuss the benefits of setting goals that align with who you are, why approach goals work better than avoidance ones, and how small wins can fuel big change.
