Mindset By Carol S. Dweck

In this groundbreaking book, world-renowned Stanford psychologist Carol S. Dweck reveals the power of our mindset—the simple but transformative idea that our beliefs about our abilities profoundly influence our success. Dweck uncovers the two core mindsets: the fixed mindset, which assumes our character, intelligence, and creative ability are static givens we can't change; and the growth mindset, which thrives on challenge and sees failure not as evidence of unintelligence but as a springboard for growth and stretching our existing abilities. Drawing on decades of research, Dweck shows how a growth mindset contributes to outstanding achievement in business, education, sports, and relationships. She also provides practical advice for cultivating this mindset in ourselves, our children, and our teams.
