About the book

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.
Dweck explains why it's not just our abilities and talent that bring us success-but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn't foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment, but may actually jeopardize success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades, as well as reach our own goals-personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs, and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can create a love of learning and a resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area.

    DOF. Stopped after chapter 1 because you can boil down the key message to one sentence.

    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.
