Why do some people flourish when faced with a challenge, while others crumble? This is the question that has defined Stanford psychology professor Carol Dweck’s decades of research, resulting in her ground-breaking theory of mindset. Dweck believes that talent and intelligence do not tell the full story about one’s ability to achieve. Instead, what determines personal success is whether one has a fixed or growth mindset; the first is a belief that our qualities and strengths cannot be altered, and the second way of thinking supports the idea that they can change over time.
Based on meticulous research, and with anecdotes about successful CEOs, athletes, artists, and educators who achieved greatness through attitude as much as ability, Mindset offers new ways of thinking about motivation and personal development.
The summary and analysis in this ebook are intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to a great work of nonfiction.

Цитаты

  • Dima Rassamakhaцитирует3 года назад
    Dweck argues that there are two types of mindsets: a fixed mindset, which dictates that our ability to achieve is unchangeable, and a growth mindset, which says that we can improve our abilities through challenging work and practice. The fixed mindset makes our failures personal; we, as opposed to our actions, are not good enough. The growth mindset believes that persistence, hard work, and an openness to criticism are exactly what help us improve.

    Everyone needs praise, but it’s important to praise effort rather than ability.
