This book is based on a revolutionary concept discovered by renowned psychologist Carol Dweck after 20 years of research. In it, you'll learn:
- why intelligence and talent don't guarantee success;
- how they can actually get in the way;
- why rewarding intelligence and talent often jeopardizes achievement;
- and how to improve a child's academic performance or a manager's productivity.
People with a fixed mindset (a fixed mindset) believe that innate intelligence and talent are unchangeable. They spend time proving their intelligence and talent to everyone instead of developing their talents. They also believe that talent leads to success in and of itself. And they're wrong.
People with a growth mindset (a flexible mindset) believe that all qualities can be developed through systematic self-improvement, and that initial levels of intelligence and talent are merely a starting point. This approach fosters a love of continuous learning and resilience to challenges and failures. It's unlikely that there's a single outstanding person who doesn't possess these qualities.
Transitioning to a flexible mindset increases motivation and productivity in business, education, and sports. It enriches personal relationships. When you read this book, you'll discover how.
