Publisher Description
World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success, has discovered a truly groundbreaking idea-the power of our mindset.
Dweck explains why it's not just our abilities and talent that bring us success-but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn't foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment, but may actually jeopardize success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades, as well as reach our own goals-personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs, and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can create a love of learning and a resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area.

Practical and Insightful personal improvement mind map
This is a really great read.
It allows us to understand why we feel bad when things do not work out the first time and more importantly why some people give up or worse still don’t even try.
This book is an essential read for teachers, parents and children and everyone in between.
It busts the myth that we are born with a fixed potential and opens up a whole new world to help us all realise our dreams and do the impossible.
The harder we work at something the luckier we get. What I mean by that is that we can all do whatever we put our mind to, we may experience disappointment along the way but learning lessons and devising effective ways of overcoming disappointment or obstacles is the route map to success in every aspects of our lives, eduction, work, hobbies, recreation. That was my take away message from Caroline Dwerks masterpiece. This is a book to read again and again. Loved it.
Awesome
An easy to read and eye-opening book. I have been and will continue to recommend it to everything I know! Thank you Carol Dweck
A chapter would have sufficed
Whilst insightful, much of the book is just repeating the same information in differing circumstances.
The free sample includes all the essential information, which is valid and useful. The rest of the book just regurgitates it in my opinion with no real-world application for the readers life. Essentially learn from your mistakes and grow, don’t shy away from challenge etc...
This book is a bit like when you need to write a set number of words for an essay and you just keep saying the same thing over and over…a bit like this review.
