A short history of mindset

Abstract

If you want to grow your branches high and wide as a mindset practitioner, it is important you develop a deep system of roots in the origins and history of mindset psychology. However, opportunities to study the history of mindset tend to be few and far between, and the small number of opportunities that do exist, typically centre around accounts that are partial and incomplete, and that sometimes contain inaccurate and unsubstantiated claims. This paper presents a short history of mindset from the perspective of the many people who have explicitly used the term, alongside people who have studied similar ideas, and the fields supporting lineages and traditions. You are invited to study this history, as well as to contribute to a shared and ongoing process of making the history of mindset more visible for all to see and learn from.
