Dr. David Yeager, professor of psychology at UT Austin and one of the world’s leading researchers into growth mindset, joins Rye Youth Council for a revelatory discussion about the ideas and findings presented in his new book, 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People.
Discover how to adopt what Yeager terms the mentor mindset, which is a leadership style that’s attuned to young people’s need for status and respect. Designed to help parents, educators, coaches and managers struggling to help young people reach their potential, Dr Yeager’s groundbreaking book shares landmark strategies and practical advice to help anyone tap into the basic neurological systems that drive young people’s motivation and behavior, reduce a wide array of behavioral problems such as school dropout, unhealthy eating, stress, purposeless, mental health problems, and help them to feel empowered, inspired, enthusiastic and ready to contribute.
