Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
Author: Carol S. Dweck
Desc: A newer edition of this book can be found here. 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.
