Description



About the Book



Originally published in hardcover in a slightly different form in 2006 by Random House, an imprint and division of Penguin Random House LLC.



Book Synopsis



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.

This book clearly explains how you can improve all areas of your life and relationships by implementing the strategies of a growth mindset and the opposite outcome that results from holding on to a fixed mindset. Presented in an upbeat, positive and humorous way. Success is yours for the taking. It's a choice.
