Mindset - Updated Edition: Changing The Way You think To Fulfil Your Potential
About this product
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.

Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers say this book is insightful, practical, readable, and well-researched, with many calling it a must-read or life-changing. Some reviewers also say it can feel repetitive, monotone, or boring, especially in the pacing. On Amazon, readers repeatedly mention that the ideas are easy to understand and useful in real life, with strong examples from education, sport, and business.
Amazon reviews in other marketplaces echo the same split: many praise the book as eye-opening, useful, and recommended, while a smaller number mention issues with condition, delivery, or that the writing can be hard to get through. Review snippets also highlight the book’s focus on fixed mindset versus growth mindset, and several readers say it offers practical takeaways rather than just theory.
