about this book
A leading expert in motivation and personality psychology, Carol Dweck has discovered in more than twenty years of research that our mindset is not a minor personality quirk: it creates our whole mental world. In Mindset, she argues that it explains how we become optimistic or pessimistic, shaping our goals, our attitude toward work and relationships, and how we raise our kids—ultimately predicting whether or not we will fulfill our potential.
Dweck demonstrates that mindset unfolds in childhood and adulthood and drives every aspect of our lives, from work to sports, from relationships to parenting. She illustrates how creative geniuses in all fields—music, literature, science, sports, business—apply the growth mindset to achieve results.
Highly engaging and very practical, Mindset breaks new ground as it offers compelling methods to change one's manner of thinking for a more productive life.
“This book is an essential read for parents, teachers, coaches, and others who are instrumental in determining a child’s mind-set, and in turn, his or her future success, as well as for those who would like to increase their own feelings of success and fulfillment.”
