There are two main mindsets we can navigate life with: growth and fixed. A. The Fixed MindsetOur view of ourselves can determine everything. If we believe that our qualities are unchangeable — the fixed mindset — we will want to prove ourselves correct over and over rather than learning from our mistakes.

1.1 The Two Mindsets

Intelligence can be developed. Leads to a desire to learn and therefore a tendency to... <ul><li>Challenges: embrace challenges</li><li>Obstacles: persist in the face of setbacks</li><li>Effort: see effort as the path to mastery</li><li>Criticism: learn from criticism</li><li>Success of Others: find lessons and inspiration in the success of others</li></ul>As a result, they reach ever-higher levels of achievement. All this gives them a greater sense of will.

Growth Mindset In Detail

B. The Growth MindsetThe passion for stretching ourselves and sticking to it, even (or especially) when it’s not going well, is the hallmark of the growth mindset. This is the mindset that allows people to thrive during some of the most challenging times in their lives. In short, having a growth mindset is essential for success. The growth mindset creates a powerful passion for learning.

1.2 The Two Mindsets

Intelligence is static. Leads to a desire, to look smart and therefore a tendency to... <ul><li>Challenges: avoid challenges</li><li>Obstacles: give up easily</li><li>Effort: see effort as fruitless or worse</li><li>Criticism: ignore useful negative feedback</li><li>Success of Others: feel threatened by the success of others</li></ul>As a result, they may plateau early and achieve less than their full potential. All this confirms as deterministic view of the world.

From the renowned psychologist who introduced the world to “growth mindset” comes this updated edition of the million-copy bestseller—featuring transformative insights into redefining success, building lifelong resilience, and supercharging self-improvement. “Through clever research studies and engaging writing, Dweck illuminates how our beliefs about our capabilities exert tremendous influence on how we learn and which paths we take in life.”—Bill Gates, GatesNotes “It’s not always the people who start out the smartest who end up the smartest.” After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment. In this edition, Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love—to transform their lives and your own.

Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., is one of the world’s leading researchers in the field of motivation and is the Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology at Stanford University. Her research has focused on why people succeed and how to foster success. She has held professorships at Columbia and Harvard Universities, has lectured all over the world, and has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Her scholarly book Self-Theories: Their Role in Motivation, Personality, and Development was named Book of the Year by the World Education Federation. Her work has been featured in such publications as The New Yorker, Time, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe, and she has appeared on Today and 20/20.
