Description
“Through clever research studies and engaging writing, Dweck illuminates how our beliefs about our capabilities exert tremendous influence on how we learn and which paths we take in life.”—Bill Gates, GatesNotes
“It’s not always the people who start out the smartest who end up the smartest.”
After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment.
In this edition, Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love—to transform their lives and your own.

Fixed Mindset and Growth Mindset are two sets of dogmas / paradigms that Carol S Dweck found to make a big difference in their bearers. Fixed mindset basically describes the belief that people are fixed by their genes, their talent, their personality and their past, while growth mindset bearers believe that every aspect of them is changeable by learning and effort. She researched how people are impacted (very positively by the growth mindset and very negatively by the fixed mindset), and how to teach the growth mindset to people and especially children. 4 stars because the first half of the book is just shock full of examples from the sports world which was pretty straining to an anti-sports person like me. Overall: interesting and backed by science.
