How useful is IQ? What exactly is a growth mindset, and how is it different from a fixed mindset? What shifts can we make in our thinking that will allow us to learn and grow in new ways? Should you take Swahili lessons? How does all of this apply to being a naturalist and nature journaler?  In this cute tiny bonus episode, come with me and John Muir Laws as we discuss all of this and more.  Links:  John Muir Laws Website John Muir Laws Books Neuroplasticity Carol Dweck's Scientific American Article My website is www.goldenstatenaturalist.com My Patreon is www.patreon.com/michellefullner You can find me on Instagram or TikTok @goldenstatenaturalist Imbodhi (actual best and coziest onesies for everything).
