Learning with Passion and Enthusiasm
This video is about the key role that excitement plays in the neurochemistry of learning. If you can recapture the excitement that comes so naturally to little children, it really will help you to learn more! This is another video from the Sprouts channel.

A New Theory of Human Intelligence
Scott Barry Kaufman (learn more at Wikipedia) is the co-author of a great book: Wired to Create: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Creative Mind. I can highly recommend that book!
Here is his TED talk on A New Theory of Human Intelligence:

Original Thinkers, by Adam Grant
I wasn't quite sure where best to share this video because it is partly about time, but it is also about doubt and fear, so I decided to post it here in the growth mindset blog, since doubt and fear is a big part of growth mindset, as you will learn in the video; there's a transcript of the talk at the TED site also.
This video explores one of the upsides to procrastination: some, but not all, people who procrastinate are creative thinkers. The trick is to be letting ideas incubate while you are procrastinating. You are not working on the task directly, because you are engaged in thinking (specifically, divergent thinking) about that task. Adam Grant also talks about doubt, especially people who don't take things for granted (like the browser that came installed on your computer...), and who instead are willing to take the initiative to try something new. Finally, he talks about fear, and how original thinkers have to be willing to set aside the fear of making mistakes or embarrassment: yes, lots of your ideas will be bad ones, but that's like the price you pay for the good ideas that you will also have. In summary: "them off. And when that's you, don't count yourself out either. Know that being quick to start but slow to finish can boost your creativity, that you can motivate yourself by doubting your ideas and embracing the fear of failing to try, and that you need a lot of bad ideas in order to get a few good ones."
