From the renowned psychologist who introduced the world to "growth
mindset" comes this updated edition of the million-copy
bestseller--featuring transformative insights into redefining success,
building lifelong resilience, and supercharging self-improvement.
"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
"It's not always the people who start out the smartest who end up the
smartest."
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.
