Mindset – Carol Dweck
Why do some people thrive on challenges and bounce back from failure, while others avoid risks and give up easily? According to Stanford psychologist Carol S. Dweck, the answer often lies in their mindset.
In Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, Dweck draws on decades of research to describe two ways of thinking about ability. People with a fixed mindset believe that intelligence and talent are fixed traits, so they worry about proving themselves and fear failure. People with a growth mindset believe that abilities can be developed through effort, learning and persistence, so they embrace challenges and see setbacks as opportunities to grow.
Dweck shows how these mindsets shape achievement and wellbeing in every area of life, including school, sports, business, leadership, parenting and relationships. She shares examples ranging from famous athletes and business leaders to students and teachers, and explains how praise, feedback and expectations can foster one mindset or the other.
Importantly, she demonstrates that mindsets can change, and offers guidance for developing a growth mindset in ourselves and others. This updated edition includes new material on false growth mindsets and on how organizations can create cultures that support learning.
Clear, practical and deeply influential, Mindset has transformed the way teachers, parents, coaches and managers think about learning and success. It is an essential read for anyone who wants to unlock their potential and help others do the same.
