This session explores the significance of mindset in shaping a better future. It examines how small changes in our patterns of mind can make us well, and enhance our ability to make positive contributions in an interconnected world. Building on the Fixed and Growth mindset concepts, the Benefit Mindset is presented as a necessary and timely evolution of how we conceptualise human potential. Only through framing an individual’s potential in the context of a whole system, can we truly appreciate how to work contributively towards what is meaningful and good. Developing a Benefit Mindset is needed now, more than ever, to redefine narrow conceptions of success, and create a world where everyone has the opportunity to express their full humanity together with thriving living systems.
