| Summary Note |
"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. Professor Dweck explains why it's not just our abilities and talent that bring us success - but whether we approach our goals with a fixed or growth mindset. With the right mindset, we can motivate our children to raise their grades, as well as reach our own goals - personal and professional. 'Mindset' reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can foster learning and nurture the resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area." - Back cover. |
