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.

Product description

Review

An utterly compelling story of how the way we think shapes our success.Essential reading for anyone with aspirations. - Matthew Syed, author of Bounce and two-time Olympic athlete

Will prove to be one of the most influential books ever about motivation. - Po Bronson, author of NurtureShock

A good book is one whose advice you believe. A great book is one whose advice you follow. I have found Carol Dweck's work on mindsets invaluable in my own life, and even life-changing in my attitudes toward the challenges that, over the years, become more demanding rather than less. This is a book that can change your life, as its ideas have changed mine. - Robert J. Sternberg, IBM Professor of Education and Psychology at Yale University

If you manage any people or if you are a parent (which is a form of managing people), drop everything and read Mindset. - Guy Kawasaki, author of The Art of the Start

Book Description

An authoritative, practical guide on how to develop the mindset necessary for success, both personal and professional. - Revised and updated with new material

Start reading Mindset - Updated Edition on your Kindle in under a minute.

US Sports Centred Narrative Learning

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 March 2019

Verified Purchase

Useful effort allows for learning and growth. Making effort useful requires a willingness to look at process and change what isn't working. Failure is a way of understanding that the effort wasn't useful and a tool to speed future progress.

This book has salient information for everyone but the delivery is so laboured, it's easy to miss. You can get the gist by reading the summary at the end of each chapter and speeding through the final chapter (8), skipping around 75%.

Definitely buy this book if:
* you like your information delivered slowly in a narrative form and repeated
* you have a big interest in US sports
* you find social proof persuasive or motivating.

"How to Fail at Everything and Still Win Big" by Scott Adams would be a suitable replacement and is a much better investment of time.

Helped me find peace with how others treat me

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 March 2019

Verified Purchase

Not only did it help me transform how I approach thinking about problems in a transformatively more positive way, it's also enabled me to clearly identify how significant others throughout my life (parents, teachers, bosses, colleagues, friends) think (fixed or growth mindset), which has helped me find peace with the way they judge(d) me. This has helped me shift out of feeling responsible for the way I've been judged and I've already shed lots of negative beliefs I held about myself either as a result of the way others spoke to me, or the way in which I spoke to myself with negative self-talk. It's repetitive, which annoys some people, but get this book and read it anyway. You can always take a break from it and dive back in later, you won't be sorry.

Game Changer!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 December 2018

Verified Purchase

Every now and again you come across a book that is not just interesting, informative, insightful or educational, and not just changes the way you think, but changes the way you see the world. Mindset takes you through a journey of the differences between a "growth mindeset" and "fixed mindeset" what that means and how you can make a difference.
Or try and make a difference. In your work life, your personal life, how you deal with colleagues, your friends, family and your children. This book is not a "tickbox" or a "top ten things you need to do" and the reason for this, is that the change has to come from within you. This book purley is a catalyst to empower you to make that change. I've purchased a copy for all my friends for Christmas.

Does not live up to the hype.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 September 2020

Verified Purchase

A trusted friend told me this book changed her life, so I was excited about reading it. What powerful advice did the author have for me? Turns out, not much.

The central premise of the book is a statement of the obvious: You can get better at anything you like; it just requires effort, effective strategies and learning from setbacks. People who do this often out-perform people who have greater innate ability but do not apply effort, go through the motions and blame setbacks on others.

That’s it. The rest of the book is endless US-centric sporting anecdotes, written in the glib style of a 300-page LinkedIn post. Some parts really made me cringe: “The growth mindset gave me a mother”; “Parents who send fixed-mindset messages are like France, and parents who send growth-mindset messages are like Italy”; “If we do not learn and work hard, we will take an Icarian flight to nowhere” (the latter supposedly uttered by a four-year-old boy with a STRONG growth mindset).

My recommendation would be to read a one-page summary of this book online, then spend the time you would have spent reading the book studying “Learning to Learn” on Coursera, which provides much more insightful and practical advice about getting better at things in (dare I say it?) a growth-minded way.

Repetitive and waste of time

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 May 2019

Verified Purchase

The book is collection of examples. Examples of people with fixed mindset and growth mindset. Challenge yourself-you will succeed. After two chapters I gave up as it’s only examples and no actual psychology behind it. I would advise to start with Atomic Habits by James Clear to actually know how to challenge yourself and become better everyday.

Why, but don't expect how

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 October 2020

Verified Purchase

Interesting read but there aren't really many practical methods to change your thinking, its mostly an argument for why you should have a growth mindset, and examples of other people who decided to have one. If you feel like you need help to think that way you're probably going to need to work it out for yourself (something Dweck does actually say in a roundabout way when she says you can't just decide you have one now, you have to work at it). That essentially sums it up I think. None of the last few books like this I've read give you much practical advice on how to get where you're trying to be. I think that's evidenced by the note in the book that there is a false growth mindset out there, well of course, if it's up to you and people tend towards shortcuts (my trying to find help in a book maybe) then it's not surprising people are doing it wrong if you can't compare to a standard. At the end of the day it's not that this book is bad, it was thought provoking, and maybe that's enough, but it will only convince you growth is good, not how to stop having a fixed mindset. For that you'll need to put in the work every day trying to look at the world differently and maybe get a therapist. Now if you'll excuse me I need to think about whether this review came from the fixed mindset.

The Best Be Positive Argument I've Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 September 2018

Verified Purchase

This book was mandated as part of a study course. I started it in a neutral frame of mind, but by the end I was deeply impressed by the power of its argument to change our mindsets. It truly is a comprehensive analysis of "If you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right." (Attrib. Henry Ford). Carol Dweck puts forward a compelling case, backed up by hard data, personal experience in the teaching environment, and field studies, to demonstrate that you really can improve your skill-set with the right attitude.
