Part 5/9:
Empirical evidence from neuroscience reinforces the validity of the growth mindset. Research has established that the brain is malleable and capable of learning throughout a person’s life. For example, studies on taxi drivers demonstrate that prolonged navigation in complex urban environments can result in increased grey matter, enhancing their ability to perform their job effectively.
In this light, the growth mindset aligns seamlessly with the realities of life. Both anecdotes and research reveal that success typically arises from persistence, effort, and strategic adaptation rather than from sheer talent or luck.
