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 jeopardise 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.

Review

An utterly compelling story of how the way we think shapes our success.Essential reading for anyone with aspirations. - Matthew Syed, author of Bounce and two-time Olympic athlete

Will prove to be one of the most influential books ever about motivation. - Po Bronson, author of NurtureShock

A good book is one whose advice you believe. A great book is one whose advice you follow. I have found Carol Dweck's work on mindsets invaluable in my own life, and even life-changing in my attitudes toward the challenges that, over the years, become more demanding rather than less. This is a book that can change your life, as its ideas have changed mine. - Robert J. Sternberg, IBM Professor of Education and Psychology at Yale University

If you manage any people or if you are a parent (which is a form of managing people), drop everything and read Mindset. - Guy Kawasaki, author of The Art of the Start

'The value of this book extends way beyond the world of education. It's just as relevant for business people who want to cultivate talent and for parents who want to raise their kids to thrive on challenge' BILL GATES

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 reaching our own goals - both 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 accomplishment in every area.

This revised and updated edition includes new material on organizational mindsets and on opening yourself up to growth, and addresses common misconceptions about growth mindsets.

DR CAROL S. DWECK is widely regarded as one of the world's leading researchers in the fields of personality, social psychology and developmental psychology. Her work has been featured in such publications as the New Yorker, The Times and the Guardian.

The ebook is fantastic, but the audio version is not good.

Reviewed in Australia on 30 March 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought the ebook on kindle and also the audiobook in this title. The content is fantastic and very interesting to read, and the content is very useful to apply to improving your life. However the audio version is almost impossible to listen to for more than 5 minutes. It sounds like the voice you hear when you type a document and you use software to read your document to you...that monotone, computer terrible voice. I highly recommend the written book which i love, but strongly advise against the audiobook, I regret my purchase there.

Mind bending in a good way.

Reviewed in Australia on 11 June 2018

Verified Purchase

This is potentially life changing for those of us who believe we are limited by a preset level of intelligence. It challenges a common assumption that some kids are innately dumb or smart. It shows how to empower yourself by correcting a mistaken mindset. Refreshingly it’s not about unlocking your inner superstar. Instead it’s about thinking in a way that enables you to grow, and to allow others around you to grow too. And it’s liberating for those raised to believe they have high intelligence, but who may be afraid to fail because of it.

Really mind bending in a good way, ‘Mindset’ is as readable as a novel. This is the one book I am recommending to everyone this year, because it’s made me a less anxious person and a better parent, colleague and friend.

An easy yet profoundly insightful read

Reviewed in Australia on 20 June 2018

Verified Purchase

Carol Dweck has a way with words, and you can really feel the work she has done to tame them over her life. (There you go Carol, praise the process right?)

Mindset is a very palatable, very approachable book on high level psychology and the effects it has on our lives; both the detrimental and the uplifting.

The language isn’t esoteric, and Carol definitely isn’t trying to flex years of academic knowledge and language - she is, instead, ultimately concerned with making her point as clearly as possible and to as many people as possible for, without a doubt, no other reason than to improve the lives of her readers.

Inside you’ll find anecdotes about people’s lives; both heartbreaking and liberating in equal serve. These stories stand to demonstrate the power between two very different approaches to processing the world, and our place within it, when faced with challenges, grief, disappointment, failure or loss. The stories act as paintings of two completely different portraits, and yet underlying this is the message that we, ultimately, are the artist of our own lives and while we may not be able to pick the canvas, we are free to choose the paint, the angle, the style and the time required to paint our own portrait; and that it will take time and effort to execute this at varying levels of success.

We all carry a mix of what’s labelled the Fixed-Mindset, and the Growth-Mindset, and as you’ll see it’s not a competition based on where you start relative to others in that ratio, nor a competition with yourself to be perfect.

If you ever hold yourself back, despite your successes, or if you feel hopeless and powerless to take control of yourself and become who you are capable of being, then start reading now.

You’ll not find strict answers to follow as a recipe for success, nor deep academic information, but you’ll find an encouraging way of looking at yourself, and the world; you’ll be kinder to yourself, kinder to others.

If not already, you’ll realise that you, like me, are an unfinished painting and that with time and effort, you can stand tall as a work of art, although never finished, in your own right.

A great concept but unnecessarily lengthy

Reviewed in Australia on 21 October 2020

Verified Purchase

The concept of growth vs fixed mindsets is groundbreaking stuff and gives a name to something we all feel at times. I found there to be too many examples in the book, as if the author was just trying to make the book a certain length. I don’t think anyone would’ve found that they didn’t understand the fixed vs growth mindsets after the first 10 examples. In saying this, there was gold scattered throughout the book and I believe this book should be read by every person on this planet.

What I really liked about this book is that it is so readable

Reviewed in Australia on 13 February 2018

Verified Purchase

What I really liked about this book is that it is so readable. Often books about psychology are so theoretical that the average reader has no idea what it is about. Ms Dweck has developed the skill to make psychology readable and understandable. As I read this book I found myself becoming more and more growth mindset oriented and I'm glad I did. I found that I could see the damage that fixed mindset does to, not only to "ordinary" people but people who excel in their given fields. And have done my best to integrate growth mindset into everything I do.

Book is kinda boring.

Reviewed in Australia on 19 August 2018

Verified Purchase

The product shipped quickly so I am thankful for that.
The book itself is smaller than your typical book, and pages feel quite thin. At first I thought it felt quite cheap but it hasn't been damaged from casual reading.
The story in the book drags on. You get told within ten pages what the mindsets are which is great that it gets straight to the point, but then it continues to reiterate the two mindsets over and over in different scenarios. Gets repetitive and boring.

Full of fascinating insights

Reviewed in Australia on 16 April 2018

I really enjoyed the book because of the practical insights offered throughout. It's very clear how to implement a growth mindset & there's much to learn. Where it falls down is the amount of repetition cloaked in real life, real world examples.

Verbose meandering pop psychology.

Reviewed in Australia on 13 August 2018

There’s some good points, better observed and explained by others, such as Josh Waitzkin’s The Art of Learning, which is more original and by someone who walks the walk. Sadly Mindset wastes a lot of time making few points.

Gut für ein besseres Verständnis des Growth Mindsets, aber wenig Theorie

Reviewed in Germany on 27 August 2018

Verified Purchase

Wer an der Idee des "growth mindset" interessiert ist, sollte vorweg auf Youtube ein oder zwei entsprechende Videos von Frau Dweck anschauen - in denen sagt sie in wenigen Worten bereits alles Wesentliche. Der Wert dieses Buches liegt somit vor allem darin, dass es anhand von Beispielen das growth mindset systematisch erläutert. Zuerst erschien mir dies als zu oberflächlich, da ich mir mehr theoretischen Tiefgang erhofft hatte, allerdings ist es allgemein bekannt, dass Beispiele fürs Verständnis enorm wichtig und hilfreich sind. Insofern kann man von diesem Buch durchaus profitieren - wenn man ein Buch zu einem Thema gelesen hat, dann hat man es oft besser verinnerlicht als nach einem kurzen Video.

Was mich etwas gestört hat: Ihr Buch beginnt Frau Dweck mit den Worten "No book has ever explained this mindset and shown people how to make use of it in their lives." - das entspricht nicht der Realität. Von der Philosophie der Antike (besonders die Stoiker) über Nietzsche bis hin zu Psychologen wie Kazimierz Dabrowski: Das Gedankengut findet sich bereits bei vielen anderen Menschen und in vielen anderen Büchern, bloß sind diese nicht so modern und haben keinen griffigen Titel wie "growth mindset". Der Nobelpreisträger Santiago Ramón y Cajal meinte vor hundert Jahren schon: "Any man could, if he were so inclined, be the sculptor of his own brain." Das ist im Wesentlichen die Botschaft des Buches, deren Bedeutung dann durch viele Beispiele erläutert wird. Hier hätte ich mir wenigstens eine andeutungsweise historische Einordnung gewünscht.

Zusammenfassend: Wer sich mal einen Vortrag von Dweck angehört hat und lesen möchte, wie das growth mindset in verschiedenen Situationen konkret aussieht, um ein besseres Verständnis zu erlangen, der kann das Buch guten Gewissens kaufen. Man kann hier durchaus etwas lernen, auch wenn an Theorie vergleichen mit ihren TED Talks nicht so viel dazu kommt.

US Sports Centred Narrative Learning

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 March 2019

Verified Purchase

Useful effort allows for learning and growth. Making effort useful requires a willingness to look at process and change what isn't working. Failure is a way of understanding that the effort wasn't useful and a tool to speed future progress.

This book has salient information for everyone but the delivery is so laboured, it's easy to miss. You can get the gist by reading the summary at the end of each chapter and speeding through the final chapter (8), skipping around 75%.

Definitely buy this book if:
* you like your information delivered slowly in a narrative form and repeated
* you have a big interest in US sports
* you find social proof persuasive or motivating.

"How to Fail at Everything and Still Win Big" by Scott Adams would be a suitable replacement and is a much better investment of time.

Game Changer!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 December 2018

Verified Purchase

Every now and again you come across a book that is not just interesting, informative, insightful or educational, and not just changes the way you think, but changes the way you see the world. Mindset takes you through a journey of the differences between a "growth mindeset" and "fixed mindeset" what that means and how you can make a difference.
Or try and make a difference. In your work life, your personal life, how you deal with colleagues, your friends, family and your children. This book is not a "tickbox" or a "top ten things you need to do" and the reason for this, is that the change has to come from within you. This book purley is a catalyst to empower you to make that change. I've purchased a copy for all my friends for Christmas.

Helped me find peace with how others treat me

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 March 2019

Verified Purchase

Not only did it help me transform how I approach thinking about problems in a transformatively more positive way, it's also enabled me to clearly identify how significant others throughout my life (parents, teachers, bosses, colleagues, friends) think (fixed or growth mindset), which has helped me find peace with the way they judge(d) me. This has helped me shift out of feeling responsible for the way I've been judged and I've already shed lots of negative beliefs I held about myself either as a result of the way others spoke to me, or the way in which I spoke to myself with negative self-talk. It's repetitive, which annoys some people, but get this book and read it anyway. You can always take a break from it and dive back in later, you won't be sorry.

The Best Be Positive Argument I've Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 September 2018

Verified Purchase

This book was mandated as part of a study course. I started it in a neutral frame of mind, but by the end I was deeply impressed by the power of its argument to change our mindsets. It truly is a comprehensive analysis of "If you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right." (Attrib. Henry Ford). Carol Dweck puts forward a compelling case, backed up by hard data, personal experience in the teaching environment, and field studies, to demonstrate that you really can improve your skill-set with the right attitude.
