Welcome to The Resilient Learner Podcast!
We help learners of all ages cultivate the adaptable mindsets and skills necessary to carve their own path in their education and careers.
Today’s episode is another TRL Book Fair episode – yay! I will be discussing Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth. This is definitely a TRL ‘foundational text’, covering intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation, how to identify the right type of goals for you, and distinguishing between growth and fixed mindsets) using a captivating blend of anecdotal and research perspectives. I definitely recommend this one!
