Mindset

The New Psychology of Success

Carol S. Dweck examines how beliefs about ability shape learning, achievement, relationships, and responses to failure. She contrasts a fixed mindset, in which abilities are viewed as unchangeable traits, with a growth mindset, in which abilities can be developed through effort, strategy, and feedback. Drawing on research in psychology and education, the book applies these ideas to parenting, teaching, business, sports, and personal development.
