The Nature of Mindset
A Field Guide and Psychology of Change, Transformation, and Healing
When Ash Buchanan began to study the mindset sciences, he encountered a surprising gap: the lack of a comprehensive theory that was based on all the evidence. This revelation sparked a decade-long learning journey to study and address this gap. In The Nature of Mindset, he presents his groundbreaking findings.
Part one offers a comprehensive field guide to the field of mindset, including an in-depth inquiry into its current communities, its origins and history, and also into a range of voices that speak to the emerging future for mindset psychology and practice.
Part two offers a comprehensive psychology of mindset that is also a psychology of how people and systems change, transform, and heal. This comprehensive psychology includes a theory of how mindset comes into being, the forms mindset can take in our lives and in the life of society, the functions mindset can serve, and the natural laws that underlie how mindset can change and transform into new forms and functions that serve better.
The Nature of Mindset is a must-read for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of mindset, and support the possibility of new ways of seeing, being, and acting in themselves and society as a whole.
