Description
World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success, has discovered a truly groundbreaking idea - the power of our mindset.
Professor Dweck explains why it's not just our abilities and talent that bring us success - but whether we approach our goals with a fixed or growth mindset. With the right mindset, we can motivate our children to raise their grades, as well as reaching our own goals - both personal and professional.
Mindset reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can foster learning and nurture the resilience that is the basis of accomplishment in every area.
This revised and updated edition includes new material on organisational mindsets and on opening yourself up to growth, and addresses common misconceptions about growth mindsets.
Book Information
Posts
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.
