Mindset

Psychologist Carol Dweck distinguishes between a ‘fixed’ mindset, believing ability is innate and unchangeable, and a ‘growth’ mindset, believing it can be developed. Drawing on decades of research, she shows how this single belief shapes achievement, relationships, and resilience in school, sport, business, and parenting. Influential and widely applied, the book argues that how we think about our own potential quietly determines how much of it we reach.
