Mindset: The New Psychology of Success

By Carol S. Dweck

Book Overview

The updated edition of the bestselling book that has changed millions of lives with its insights into the growth mindset

"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

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.

Brilliant!

Excellent read for all people. She gives great examples

Great book

A bit repetitive for filler, however the overall message is very important.

Condition Incorrect

The copy I ordered was supposed to be Very Good Condition, but there was extensive highlighting and writing inside. What's worse is it seems to be random words and sentences, so that makes it even more distracting. :)

Great book but it's missing examples of Kobe Brant's mindset.

Great book for promoting personal and intellectual growth. One missing element is Kobe Brant's views on mindset.

It is not the upgraded edition

It is a good book

Will help anyone

A new way of,thinking and living.

While this book was first published in 2006, it is still relevant today. There is an updated version published in 2017. Make sure to check the ISBN before purchase if you're looking for the 2017 edition. However, this edition is a worthy first step on the subject of Mindset.
