Book is good, but print font size too small, pressure on eyes when read it continuously

Great read

Awesome book

Amazing book to read. I had purchased it in 2022 and still i love this book, this has changed my thoughts and motivated me so much.

Author delineates two mindsets: fixed mindset and growth mindset. People with fixed mindset believe that talent is innate and nothing can be done about it. Either you’re born talented or not. They don’t believe in efforts. These people in position of some talent think they’re special and they are more entitled than others. These people believe in their superiority to others as they have got the talent that others are not special enough to have. Author provides examples in business, sports, relationships and other walk of life of people who seem to have had this mindset and the havoc they wrecked by putting their pride ahead of the collective benefit. There is another category and that is Growth mindset. Growth mindset people believe that efforts are the key to success. Author provides examples of people with this. People like Michael Jordan, Tiger Wood put lots of effort in improving and learning that they became extraordinarily good and that their success to others seem effortless. These people including Tolstoy, Darwin at their initial stage were not ferreted out as great or special but they worked hard to achieve their greatness. One good piece of knowledge is that relationships require efforts to make it work and one should not think that a relationship is ill-suited just because it requires efforts as people usually think that an ideal relationship is something that requires no efforts at all. Author submits that brain is like a muscle and that the brain can be improved through efforts. Author discusses about the effects of praise and believes that children ought to be appreciated for the efforts they put in achieving a feat and not for their so-called innate ability. The book boils everything down to mindset and tries, I guess, to be revelationary. But, this is just one framework to make sense of the surrounding. When one looks at the surrounding with this mindset-frame, everything can be represented and reduced to mindset. The surrounding is not inherently or ontologically mindset but made representationally. There could be other framework with some other quality and could be just made as good as this mindset framework. I read this book because Bill Gates recommends it. There is good things/advice in this book. But, I don’t see why this book deserves far more recognition than other books of same kind.

Best book teaches me about mindset one of my favourites the quality is top notch.

I think the book was really good explaining when the growth/fixed mindset appears on people. It was great how the book explained the different mindsets in every possible way: business, sports, education, childhood... every person can benefit from the different stories. At the end it was addressed how to be more aware of the fixed mindset, I would love to have more tips on how to overcome the fixed mindset. Recommended for everyone

It's tough to imagine a book that could have a more profound impact upon a person's self-perception than Mindset, it is a truly phenomenal work that is both easy to read and packed with in-depth research and justifications for the author's hypothesis on learning and development. The book shelf for self-help/useful psychology is incredibly bloated and it always seems like the next book has more ringing praise than the last and, whilst I've read some excellent books on clinical psychology that are peerless, this will always be the book that I remember most fondly for changing my *own* mindset to one where failure was a necessary bump in the road to success, and not an irreversible breakdown. Bear in mind, this isn't a book that will simply inform you, it's a book that will actively change you. The core concept that Dweck puts across is that humans generally fall into two types of mindset when it comes to achievement, success, learning and ability; the growth mindset and the fixed mindset. Quintessentially the growth mindset is the "Practice makes perfect"/"Try, try and try again"/"Back in the saddle" school of thought whereas the fixed mindset is typically the "I've either got a knack for it or I haven't"/"Talent is born, not developed"/"If I need to practice then I can't be that good". Needless to say in the pages within Dweck tries to detach people from a fixed mindset and steer them towards the growth version, giving plenty of real life and 'laboratory' examples of her conceptions and why they do, and should, matter to us. This is not just a book aimed at children either, we should never stop growing as people and everyone from students to seasoned academics or established athletes to those just joining an MMA club will find much to mull after reading this. The only gripe I had when reading was the author's irritating habit of stuffing politics, particularly gender politics, into her extrapolations about different peoples attitudes to learning and the impact this has on the academic, corporate and political world. With this being Dweck's life's work as a psychologist I would have preferred she keep her political conjugating to herself to instead focus on the fascinating subject matter, she is free of course to release numerous other books covering such other topics as she so wishes. In summary, if you want to be convinced (within reason) that 'Effort is what creates success' then buy this book immediately.

Sou professor universitário há vários anos e sempre escolho livros adicionais para ler junto com os alunos e conversar com eles a respeito, no modo proposto por meu ex-professor Vicente Falconi Campos: grupo da cumbuca. Em minha opinião, o livro da Carol de Weck ajuda muito tanto professores como alunos a reconhecerem seus modelos mentais e, se desejarem, melhorá-los. Após ler o livro, penso que meus alunos podem aprender qualquer coisa, desde que: i) desejem; ii) encontrem a estratégia de aprendizagem que funciona para eles e mais importante, iii) se esforcem para aprender.

Veey good lesson in this book
