Mindset

By Carol Dweck

Categories: Self-Help

After decades of research, Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck found a simple but powerful idea: how we think about our abilities shapes what we achieve. People with a fixed mindset believe talent is set; people with a growth mindset believe it can be developed, and they tend to flourish. Dweck shows how parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can use this idea. This updated edition also covers the "false growth mindset" and how mindset works in groups and organizations.
