Part 6/8:
Achor's concept of the Tetris effect pertains to how our brains seek patterns in the world. He distinguishes between two types of mindsets:
The negative Tetris effect, where individuals focus on unresponsive patterns that hinder success.
The positive Tetris effect, whereby individuals are trained to recognize opportunities that foster success.
By consciously training our minds to adopt a more positive Tetris effect, we can enhance our productivity and effectiveness.
Embracing Failure: The Art of Falling Up
How we respond to failure is crucial. Achor outlines three potential paths following a setback:
No Change: We remain stagnant, failing to learn from the experience.
Escalating Negativity: The setback leads to further decline.
