“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 all the time the people who start out the smartest who finally end up the smartest.”
After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., came upon 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 each area of human endeavor may also be dramatically influenced by how we consider our talents and abilities. People with a
fixed mindset—those who imagine that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who imagine that abilities may also 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’ll motivate those you lead, teach, and love—to develop into their lives and your own.
