    Mindset is one of those rare audio books that can help you make positive changes in your life and at the same time see the world in a new way. A leading expert in motivation and personality psychology, Carol Dweck has discovered in more than 20 years of research that our mindset is not a minor personality quirk: it creates our whole mental world. It explains how we become optimistic or pessimistic. It shapes our goals, our attitude toward work, and ultimately predicts whether or not we will fulfull our potential.

    Gary says: "Very helpful and informative."

    Story

    A difficult audio book to get through, but worth persisting. There are some gems that are wonderful to behold, but these are scattered sparsely within the book that is overly repetitive. I think Dr Dweck could have expressed her ideas by using about one quarter of the words she uses here. The tense, somewhat flat, voice of the reader, makes the search for the gems in the book a difficult one.

    George Smiley, one of the most brilliant spies in the world, is chosen to dig out a mole and destroy him. And so Smiley embarks on his blind night walk, retracing path after path into his own past - its aliases, covers, sleights of hand - burrowing into the dust of unresolved episodes.

    Valerie says: "Wonderful story that exercises the intellect"

    Story

    Compelling story, wonderfully interwoven intrigue and brilliantly read by Mr Davidson. The character voices he brings to the reading add an extra dimension to the story.
