Mindset: The New Psychology of Success

Carol S. Dweck · ★★★★☆ · 276 pages · 2006

A great book that teaches that there are two mindsets in life. The fixed mindset which limits us to our innate ability, or the growth mindset which states that you can grow and improve the weak parts over time with effort. It is the growth mindset that creates world class people.

The author does state that we all have both within us but the growth mindset is what let’s us grow and gives us better outcomes as we push ourselves to grow and get better over time and then push ourselves more as we stretch our goals.

Some sections were a bit winding like the section on sports. I think covering teachers/parents, then relationships, the sports and business would have been a better way to organize the book.
