Key Takeaways

• The Connection of Neuroscience and Mindset: Your brain is a "prediction machine" and emotions provide valuable information to help navigate uncertainty.

• Fixed vs Growth Mindsets: Purely behavioral approaches to change your mindset is limited. Jean emphasizes the importance of building self-awareness of underlying assumptions and emotional responses.

• Negative Emotions are Important: They keep us alive and indicate core needs that aren't being met. Understanding them provides actionable information.

• The Problem with a “Sacrifice” Mindset: Having a “Sufficiency Mindset,” that priorities meeting your needs enables greater creativity and innovation.

• Wellbeing Through Simple Practices: Outside and Jean’s More Human program aims to address issues of depletion, defensiveness, and disconnection by building interoceptive awareness through daily consistent practices.
