0:00.0	You're going to fail if your plan is to rely on natural talent or mindlessly clocking 10,000 hours.
0:06.3	If you want an outrageous amount of success, you're going to have to throw away most of what you know and build a real path to mastery.
0:13.3	There is a reason that most of you will die with your potential still trapped inside of you.
0:18.0	But I'm joined today by best-selling author and celebrated professor
0:21.7	Adam Grant, and our goal is to map out the exact path you can walk to beat the odds and be
0:27.9	celebrated in Valhalla.
0:31.8	Somehow, the growth mindset has become controversial because despite how many of us preach it, people are still
0:38.8	struggling. So what is it that all of us are getting wrong about self-help? I actually studied
0:43.5	this with Amy Resniewski and Justin Berg. We did an experiment in a tech company where we tried
0:48.1	to teach people growth mindset and have them think about what skills do you want to develop,
0:52.6	take maybe some talents that you thought were fixed,
0:54.5	we'll get you to reframe them as flexible.
0:56.9	And we found that that alone didn't change their happiness

1:02.2	We needed to do something extra for them,
1:03.9	which is have them change the environment around them.
1:06.8	So there was a group of people who got randomly assigned,
1:09.2	not only to think about themselves as malleable, but also their jobs as malleable. So think about your job as, you know, as a basically a set of tasks and interactions. Those are building blocks. They probably weren't designed for you, right? It's a job description that was written by somebody else. But you could change the size of those blocks. You can make some of them bigger, you can make some of them smaller. You could bring in strengths that maybe weren't designed into your job and try to do what Amy and Jane Dutton have called job crafting, where you become an active architect to your job and you actually customize it to try to better suit your capabilities that you have and the ones you want to develop.
1:44.7	And it turns out that if we give you that growth mindset about your job as well as your skills,
1:49.3	you see a sustainable boost in your happiness over the next six months at work.
1:52.9	There's no cost to your performance and there might even be some gains.
1:56.4	And so I think the idea here is to say let's not just look inward at changing ourselves.
