About this listen

The updated edition of the best-selling book that has changed millions of lives with its insights into the growth mindset.

“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)

After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, PhD, 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.

you will get the message of the book totally dialed in because it is hammered home over and over in a somewhat repetitive fashion. I loved the book despite this.

great but repetitive

We can all admit that we have thoughts, opinions on various subjects and specifically with our own alives. Mindset challenges these thoughts, opinions and gives new perspectives in non-judgmental ways. I listened to it twice. Very well done. Highly recommend!

Eye opening book!

Absolutely Awesome

I loved this book and it was absolutely worth listening to. It was laser focused on delivering a clear picture of what a growth mindset is, its counterpart (the “fixed” mindset), and how to grapple with the two in your own life.

I personally had a difficult time trying to get into the rhythm of the narrator’s voice, which was a little too “uptight” for me.

Regardless, I’d listen to the book again, because there are many phenomenal demonstrations of how a growth mindset can help affect change in any number of domains.

Thanks Dr. Dweck for the amazing work! Keep growing! 💪

Fantastic contents; subpar narrator

I love the concept of this book. I think having a good understanding of fixed mindsets and where you may have them and not know is essential for personal growth. But this book is 98% anecdotes. I wanted some exercises or practical steps to achieve said mindset for ones self and it was relished to about 2 minutes of audio at the end. Great concept, fluffy mediocre execution.

Amazing concepts, too much fluff.

Helped to correct some of my key perceptions and changed the way to look at things driven by growth mindset. Though few concepts might challenge you deep inside, but ultimately would help to figure out fixed mindsets and recognising those ones during occurrences. Most of the chapters are well researched and backed by powerful thoughts.

Would recommend to those who are looking forward to explore themselves and would like to change the way they used to think and treat themselves.

I truly enjoyed listening to this! I listened every morning and often in the evening. Very interesting and eye opening. Very helpful understanding how I think and learning how to work towards changing some of those thought patterns. I look forward to listening to more in the series. The narrator was pleasant to listened to.

Enlightening!

I started reading this and felt good about all the Growth mindset traits I had. Lol. By the end I started seeing a lot more of my fixed traits. This book is packed full of great information. I'll be adding this to my textbooks of good living.

Powerful and Informative.

This book helped me recognize something I had not even realized I had been deeply suffering with for a very long time: always trying to be perfect. I’m not and you’re not either. To learn you need to encounter challenging things. You should be grateful for these challenges, as they are allowing you to be become a better person AND to realize that there is always possibilities for growth within yourself. Dont’t be discouraged if your bad at something at first, you will become better with time, determination and effort. To push yourself to become better at something you’re terrible at will allow you to become smarter!


Now, more precisely, the book discusses the differences between the closed mindset: things are as they are and will always be this way, vs. the growth mindset: I can better myself through challenges, meaning not aiming to be perfect but to keep getting better at what I’m not good at. People who have closed mindsets essentially suffer to protect an image of perfection because they’re characteristics are set and can never change. Therefore, if they’re not good now, they’ll never be. She talks a lot about intelligence, and how it is something that can be developed like any other skill. With this in mind, she says you shouldn’t be so concerned about always proving you’re smart, you can always become smarter. She mentions that people who embrace difficult things and surmount them become smarter and stronger, as opposed to people who avoid the challenges because they require effort, therefore breaking they’re image of effortless perfection.

Life Changing - MUST READ
