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.

A new way to look at the world and our part in it
I had seen this book referenced many times in times in the past, and only recently I decided to buy it and read it. And it has been one of the quickest reads ever!This book is a true gem. It helps the reader undermine the victim mentality to the core, and provides with many examples of the difference that having a fixed mindset has compared to the journey implied in having a growth mindset.We all are a mix of both mindset, and it is up to us to recognize and control where we are in our life, and what is the dominant mindset. This book gives concrete action steps to take to chip at the fixed mindset, and to install the growth mindset mentality which is what makes us improve in all we do in our lives.Because age and skills don’t matter when the right mindset, the growth mindset, is allowed to make us flourish.A must read, truly inspirational. And now it’s time to start the journey. Now.

Mindset is more important than talent
Many books, including Talent is Overrated, Peak, Grit and Outliers have made the argument that hard work, persistence, deliberate practice, opportunity and a nurturing environment are among the reasons why people excel, not talent alone. In Mindset, Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck adds another reason why some people thrive and achieve – they have a growth mindset.Dweck proposes that human qualities are not carved in stone, they can be cultivated. People can grow and get better at anything, including sports, art, music, business, parenting or relationships. This includes intellectual skills. People can get smarter.Some people choose to believe their intelligence or ability is a static and deep-seated trait. This is the fixed mindset. Others choose to believe that intelligence and ability are traits you can develop. This is the growth mindset.In the fixed mindset, because intelligence and ability are seen as static, this leads to a tendency to avoid challenges, see effort as fruitless, ignore useful feedback, feel threatened by the success of others, give up easily when obstacles arise, and get defensive and place blame for poor performance or failure. As a result, people with this mindset plateau early and achieve less than their full potential.In the growth mindset, a person sees intelligence and ability as something that can be developed. This leads to a desire to learn, to embrace challenges, persist in the face of obstacles, see effort as the path to mastery and therefore work harder, learn from criticism and find lessons and inspiration in the success of others. As a result, they reach even higher levels of achievement.Mindset does not argue that success is a matter of either genes or environment, talent or hard work. It acknowledges that there’s a constant interaction between the two. The book also doesn’t propose that anyone can become anything – a Mozart or Einstein or Michael Jordan – if they simply work hard enough and long enough.However, Dweck does suggest that people are capable of much more than first meets the eye and there’s no way to know a person’s potential or predict what can be accomplished without trying and putting in the time and effort. Some of the most successful people in history had no obvious signs of talent when they started.The book gives examples of fixed versus growth mindset in school, sports, business, relationships, and parenting so there’s value for coaches, athletes, students, teachers, parents, couples, managers, executives and employees. There’s an entire chapter devoted to business and another to sports, but the largest number of examples are related to education and learning.I believe the message in Mindset is an important one. I would rate this 5 stars for concept. I give it 4 for delivery. It’s filled with so many anecdotes I felt like it dragged in places and was a bit repetitive. I think this is the kind of subject that could be covered completely in a 20 minute TED talk. But if you’re interested in psychology, especially learning, mindsets, beliefs and the talent vs work or nature vs nurture debate, then you would enjoy reading this whole book cover to cover.

An interesting, practical research-based view of the the power of the human brain
Dr. Dweck walks us through this life-enriching theory of growth vs. fixed mindsets which helps us become aware of this facets in our lives and how to use them to our benefit as educators, parents, coaches, spouses, etc.Dr. Dweck’s extensive research on this field, an other related, is a guarantee of the reliabity of her theories. I recommend this book to any individual who’s keen to deepen into the growth mindset theory to herself and those around her.

Still thinking the same way? Here’s how to change.
The message in this book is timeless, which is why it’s one of my favorite books. It’s filled with real examples of fixed vs. growth mindsets and reminds me every time that the way I think really does shape what’s possible. The author’s research helps me to clear out the old, stuck ways of thinking and choose a mindset that actually moves me forward.

Must Read!

Looks used to me
I bought what was listed as a “new” book- it even has a “New” sticker on the back (shown), but the book itself came obviously scuffed up with sticker residue on the front, roughed up edges, and dog-earred pages already throughout the book. This is not the end of the world, but if I wanted a used book, I would have intentionally bought one and paid less for it. This listing is not accurate to the actual condition of the book received.
