Ross G. White: Psychological Flexibility

Press/Media: Public Engagement Activities

Description

There’s no one set of rules that will see us through. Psychologist and author PROFESSOR ROSS G. WHITE works instead on the concept of psychological flexibility. If we have flexible habits and mindset, we can navigate life’s inevitable storms with at least a degree of strength and grace. 

Ross believes that just as martial arts like jiu-jitsu train students to be grounded and focused, we can also train the mind to be agile and flexible; able to roll with the punches whilst staying true to core values. 

Andrew and Ross discuss:

  • How to embrace emotional turbulence, and turn fear, frustration or anxiety into opportunities for growth and learning.
  • Facing uncertainty with confidence and purpose. 
  • Why we are easily defeated by rigid routines, and how to embrace flexibility in habits and mindset instead. 
  • Practical techniques to build mental agility.
