Mindset

An insightful and practical resource providing guidance on developing the mindset essential for both personal and professional success. This revised edition includes fresh material from the esteemed Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, who has spent decades researching achievement and success, uncovering the transformative concept of mindset. Dweck illustrates that our success is not solely dependent on innate abilities and talent, but rather on whether we engage with them through a fixed or growth mindset. She clarifies that while praising intelligence and skill might seem beneficial, it does not necessarily build self-esteem or result in success; it could actually hinder it. By adopting a growth mindset, we can inspire children to improve their academic performance and achieve our own ambitions, both in personal and professional spheres. Dweck shares insights that are well-known to successful parents, educators, executives, and athletes: understanding how a simple concept about brain function can instigate a passion for learning and foster resilience, which are crucial to achieving excellence in any field.
