Mindset – Changing The Way You think To Fulfill Your Potential by Carol Dweck. Carol is Professor of Psychology at Stanford University. Her study of human motivation is researching why people succeed or do not, and how individuals can understand how to foster success.
Hence Carol’s popular research regards two mindsets, and the difference they make in outcomes is incredibly powerful. In addition, by learning where an individual’s view on ability are sourced, you can change their reaction to failure.
Her growth versus fixed mindset is the core of the book and has won her much acclaim. For this reason, there is almost no audience that should pass on reading her book.
Accordingly, anyone can appreciate that middle school children can benefit the most and become a sponge for knowledge. Consequently in the age of COVID, resilience is a key lesson for the need for a growth mindset in an almost daily changing environment.
Dweck’s research reveals why one’s raw talent and abilities do not define success, however approaching them with a growth mindset will prove success in the long run. This is also effective for any parent’s goals, personal or professional.
Carol reveals what 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.
