Very interested in this sequence. Over the past several months I’ve been systematically reading through all of EY’s posts chronologically, with a sort of vague notion that when I was done, I would sit down, take some of the insights I had gained, and start trying to, you know, improve my life. By the time I had finally finished my read-through, a number of things had crystallized, but by far the most obvious and glaring problem was that I had a fixed mindset (as opposed to growth). Actually, I don’t know if EY ever touched on that topic directly, but in any case this site introduced me to the concept (and man, did I see myself reflected in the description of fixed mindset people, it was kind of scary).
Anyway, all this to say that this sequence interests me because a) I’d like to know how to draw better, and b) drawing seems like a perfect test case for trying to break out of the fixed mindset - before I would have assumed that I just didn’t have the talent for drawing, but now it occurs to me that (who’da thunk it?) perhaps I could get better if I practiced it. So for me, at least, this sequence is very much related to rationality. Thanks, and keep it up!
