Mindset
Mindset: The New Psychology of Success features transformative insights into redefining success, building lifelong resilience, and supercharging self-improvement. In Mindset, world renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. The book introduces a phenomenon she calls growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment. It shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities.
