Abundance Mindset
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
Belief that the world's resources, opportunities, and achievements are unlimited, and that "others' success does not mean my failure." The opposite is the "scarcity mindset" (viewing life as a zero-sum game).
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Promotes cooperation and generosity. People with an abundance mindset are more willing to share knowledge, praise others, and build alliances because they believe that making the pie bigger is more important than dividing it, which often leads to more returns.
