When the topic of the book your writing centers around mindset, and the one and only Carol Dweck (author of Mindset: The Psychology of Success) gives it a glowing endorsement, then yours is a book worth paying attention to.

Such is the case for my guest today, Eduardo Briceño. His new book, out now, is called The Performance Paradox: Turning the Power of Mindset Into Action.

To succeed in a fast-changing world, Eduardo says, individuals and companies know they must create a culture of growth, where experimentation and feedback are encouraged, and learning is integrated into the everyday. Yet we often get stuck in a well-worn pattern of habits that don’t move us forward. Why?Because many of us get trapped in the Performance Paradox: the counterintuitive phenomenon that if we focus only on performing, our performance suffers.How can we give ourselves the space to experiment and grow while also delivering high-level results? That is the ultimate question Eduardo’s book, and today’s episode, attempt to answer.

* What he means when he says we don’t learn by doing, we learn while doing

* How we can leverage our responses to different kinds of mistakes to improve learning and performance

* Common misconceptions about learning and a growth mindset

* And lots more!
