Carol S. Dweck
From the renowned psychologist who introduced the world to “growth mindset” comes this updated edition of the million-copy bestseller—featuring transformative insights into redefining success, building lifelong resilience, and supercharging self-improvement.“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.

"It's like blinders fall off your eyes as she's explaining the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. I realized how much time I had spent in the fixed mindset. This book was informative without being boring. I really enjoyed the stories that this author would tell about people whether it would be Muhammad Ali or a sixth grade boy. I felt like I learned a lot from this book and feel like I could take on challenges using the growth mindset! I would definitely recommend."
"Carol Dweck does an amazing job providing the reader with research backed examples to further help the reader understand the knowledge. This book is a fantastic read. I believe that our schools should all not only have their teachers read this but someone should create a video for teachers and families to watch together that teach everyone about the growth mindset and the fixed mindset. I love this book and I know I will be re-reading it again one day to refresh myself on it! "
