This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZfaq channel 2 months ago about self development. Now I have 155 subs and almost 75 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.

Good video. Thanks! 1. FIXED mindset - A set of people have a core belief: Everyone has a set amount of intelligence (a gift). So, to avoid being perceived as dumb/not smart, one MUST suppress any chances of making mistakes. That leads to a non-productive behavior, i.e. avoid challenges, lose interest, and stop trying.- 0:50 2. Growth Mindset - Another set of people believe that talent and intelligence are not gifts, but they have to work hard for them, AND with the right strategies and effort they can get better at anything - 2:42 3. Improving Your Brain's Cognitive Abilities - a. Grow: more time put on a task increases the number of neurons associated to it, b. Speed up: focusing intensively, during a period of time, on a given task activates myelination, which allows information transferring at x10 faster than axons w/o myelin , c. Re-wire: purposeful practice activates different areas of the brain to work more efficiently - In summary, practice, under right amount of stress, and time helps to improve, and achieve goals - 3:40 By understanding how growth mindset works, and applying strategies and practice, courage and confidence grow.

I’m 68 and playing a hybrid percussion kit I created all the time. This video has convinced me that I will continue to get better on it.

Nathan, It is amazing how you speak with no stutter now. I would have never thought that. My son is 3 and has a speech delay so while not the same thing, this is still good inspiration! This was one of the best books I have read. Easily in my top ten, maybe top five. This summary was right on point.

The reason why I subscribe Productivity Game and try to watch everyday is narrator's clear pronunciation and perfect recap for books.

Thank you so much for this summary! I have been watching your summaries for quite some time now. :) Every time you teach something new, and you put in great care and effort to present the material in a way that is easy for listeners to consume. very much appreciate your effort.

This is the best channel on KZfaq. Love, love, love it!

Awesome! By the way, what do you use besides videoscribe for editing ? ( especially when writing sentences )

Thank you Nathan for all the knowledge you are sharing. You are definitely making us knowledgeable and saving us time.

this book changed my life and my worldview forever. it helped why you are feeling negative emotion toward all kinds of your relationship. it worked, really worked. it make you aware of yourself ,not disciplining yourself,yet self-awareness followed with natural development ,not straining your mind toward fixed certain ‘magic’ remedy , but it opened you up and make you see positive outcomes,that seem impossible for other ppl.

I really like your summary, particularly since you personalized the narrative and added insights from other sources.

When commenting on Productivity Game, I feel like a stuck record. : ). Here I go again. Every video book review is excellent. Everyone video book review is better than the previous one. You've truly found your expert niche. Great books. Great video book reviews. Well done ... again!

I really believe that with enough hard work you can learn and get better at anything you set your mind to. Great video as always Nathan.

Excellent summary Nathan! It becomes a very exciting world when a growth mindset has been realised.

I needed your videos 7 years ago 😂 they are really helpful and I learned a lot since I'm subscribed to you Thank you for that Nathan

I liked the video very much, especially how you summened up the fixed and growth mindset and your final belief that everyone can grow their cognitive abilities. I belief that too, now. Thanks!

Thank you very much indeed for your great work, man! You can encourage a lot of people to the self-developing way

this channel is really amazing. very useful, i can understand the essence of a book just by watching a video in a few minutes. and i get too know how to tell them too..

Great distillation of Carol Dweck's book!

The importance of this message (i.e. you can grow your cognitive abilities) can not be overestimated.

Great information for our students and athletes too! Well said.

Brilliant summary and so easy to follow and understand well done and thankyou once again

Great video! Thanks!!👏😉

Way to summarize! Your videos are awesome and well-thought out. I'm using this video in my (not published) article to hopefully spread the word!

Awesome and thank you 🙏

Great video and morning motivation!! 🤗

Thank you for creating this. It is really helpful.

Just ordered the book today. just the thing i needed.

First time watching one of your videos and man... this is amazing work. Thank you.

Having a winners mindset is what we should all have, and we can ALL get it if we are willing to do the work. Lots of love 😍

THIS IS AWESOME!

Great book, strongly recommend.

I came here after reading the MINDSET book. No doubt, that was a great summary (Subscribed). I highly encourage everyone to read the physical book (if possible) or a PDF to foster the benefits.

great video. excellent book summary with new thoughts and conclusions! thank you

This channel deserved MOOOOREEE VIEWS and MOOOOOREE SUBS !

Thank u very much for ur brief but deep explanation!

Really good summary of the book of Carol dweck

Excellent... Thanks

Great works. Keep doing it. Thank you so much

Thanks a lot for your great job

I love this channel ♡

Loved this video and will be buying the book!

Great content.

Great channel! Great content

Thanks for your effort! You did a great job! I was familiar with these kind of mindsets, I've been trying to develop a growth mindset, however I have experience some limitations, e.g. anything related with math...at school I used to struggle with it, but I kept studying harder so my grades went up...but this effect didn't last...when I was at the university I struggled again with statistics...same story, I work harder, my performance increased, but now I am struggling again...I feel like I always have to put a very large amount effort into this and sometimes with a bit of success, but on the long run, without developing the skill of being good at math or with numbers...:( can anyone relate?

Great review! I appreciate your effort :D

thank you for sharing !

That sounds like me. I was a genius growing up....until I got a C in one class as a senior. My life fell apart after that.

nice summary !

Thank you for this information it was very useful.

Cool stuff. Keep it up bro!

Bro you've read some awesome books 💯

The fears/concerns associated with that stutter probably got you to read more by serving as your shield & strength!

Such a nice video... Sad to see such less views. Love your content keep up the good work!!!

Thank you

Wonderful Review.....!

What are the three books referenced at 3:44? Great summary, leaves me wanting to know more.

Great review

Thanks

Productivity game, I love your videos, thank you! :D I just wish you captioned them so I could use them in my college writing course.

Good !

thank you

Awesome

Don't be afraid to look stupid, *afraid to be dumb for the rest of your life*

thanks

great

We’re all here because our teachers tought it was funny to give us homework

GodBless ❤

Love the summary very precise and comprehensive. Unable to get the PDF summary, pls help

Are Closed Captions available for this video? We would like to share this video with our students, but some of them are deaf and there are no subtitles available for this video

I love this video. I want to use it for my English as a second language students. Would you let me make the subtitles for this video?

Nice

Even more important is to not care what others think about you, even praise and testing. Helps to be stubborn and have a tracker, though. :D

If I were the god of Internet your channel would have 1 billion subscribers

Could you kindly do a video on the book " Critical Chain by Eliyahu Goldratt". It fits into your category of Productivity.

Very nice and engaging video. Can you please let me know, which tool you used to create this video?

Great video! May I ask how long it takes to make a video of this quality? :)

I love you😁

Hi, Very informative video, Loved it totally. would you mind sharing which software did you use to make this video?

Sure

Tq

Is this contrary to the strengths based model?

hello everyone from UNBSJ stats hows ur quarantine

I wonder, why your channel not growing. Even though the info is excellent 🤔

Beetlejuice be like "ight my brain works now"

How and when did you overcome your stutter ?!

4:43

Okay

Do you have copyright for this? If yes please guide for which part/reason

watched

I am here because of my lifeskill class homework 😅

But we aren't always getting better....we all have limitations, a point where we can't go any further

I have suscribed in the news letter but i dont get my 1 page summary PDF. Can you send it to me?

Is this narrated by Andy Luttrell?

I want to gift someone a book leadership. Kindly suggest one, and a great one.

Can I have a pdf summary pls?

Myelination. But I forget after some days. This looks like speculative psuedoscience

I feel like this is prezi

A school teacher once said :- " Look that child is god-gifted he always comes first in his class!" Another teacher said to her :- " Everyone is gifted we just have to find out what our gifts are if you think the other children aren't god-gifted it means we have not yet found what gifts lie with them . " As for me I believe it is a gift until you achieve it once you achieve it is just an addition to your repertoire .
