Mindset: The New Psychology of Success

This book is available in a more recent version here.

World-renowned psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D. of Stanford University made a simple yet revolutionary discovery after decades of research: the power of attitude. She demonstrates in this excellent book how our perceptions of our skills and abilities may have a significant impact on our performance in almost every pursuit, including sports, the arts, employment, education, and the humanities. Individuals who have a growth mentality, or who think that talents can be enhanced, are more likely to succeed than those who have a fixed mindset, or who think that abilities are fixed. Mindset explains how excellent educators, coaches, managers, and sportsmen may use this concept to promote exceptional performance.

In this version, Dweck provides fresh perspectives on her widely accepted and well-known idea. She explains what she refers to as the "false growth mindset" and offers advice on how to embrace a more profound and authentic growth mindset. She also applies the idea of mentality to the cultures of groups and organizations, taking it beyond the confines of the individual. You may inspire those you love, lead, and instruct to change both your own and their life if you have the correct mentality.
