The ideas she presents are easily understood but I think without close examination you might think you have the growth mindset when you don’t. You don’t want to reflect on how concepts apply to your life. You are having trouble getting motivated, accomplishing things, believing in your abilities.īy giving practical ways you can stop judging yourself, including focusing on your effort instead of your results.

The growth mindset is an incredibly useful concept and the fact that she has science to back it up makes it that much more compelling. My opinion: This book deserves all the praise it gets. She is “a pioneering researcher in the field of motivation, why people succeed (or don’t) and how to foster success.” Title: Mindset: The New Psychology of SuccessĪuthor: Carol S.
