Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol S. Dweck

4.0

It is not our abilities and talents that bring us success but how we learn from challenges and failures and go forward. Psychologist Carol Dweck explains that "the passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it, even (or especially) when it's not going well, is the hallmark of the growth mindset. This is the mindset that allows people to thrive during some of the most challenging times in their lives." Dweck explains the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset and how a growth mindset allows us to learn and stretch and get better and better throughout life. There are some excellent ideas in this book, and the book is definitely worth reading and putting into practice. Especially recommended for parents and teachers.
