Mindset

The New Psychology of Success

De: Carol S. Dweck

Narrado por: Bernadette Dunne

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.

Good topic but not narrator’s voice

The material and information covered was worthwhile but it was difficult listening to it because the narrator had a very monotone voice. If there’s a different reader available in a different version I would recommend choosing a different audiobook than this one.

good

Very enlightening good book, didn't care for narrator, too robotic, made it hard to finish

Super helpful framework for personal development.

Mindset is basically a framework that collects common positive psychology beliefs on self esteem and growth and lays them out beautifully as clear, helpful principles.

I read this book twice to make sure it sunk in!

The author lost a star for a random unscholarly segment in chapter 4 on young people entering the work force. She unfortunately parrots the common stereotypes about millennial workers needing copious amounts of praise and being unable to handle critique that have no basis in fact. Of course, she cites no sources whatsoever in this segment. Weird considering the rest of the book seemed well researched and based on fact and common sense.

Enlightning

This this was great, YouTube very enlightening. I wish that I had read this book before I had children. I just wonder how I could have done things better for them

Good to keep it in the back of the mind

it is well written and narrated, I'm just not a fan of standards that label people.
