Mindset: The New Psychology of Success

Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., is widely regarded as one of the world's foremost authorities on personality, social psychology, and developmental psychology. She is the Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology at Stanford University, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences, and the recipient of nine lifetime achievement awards for her research.

Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., a world-renowned Stanford University psychologist, discovered a simple but revolutionary idea after decades of research: the power of mindset. In Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, she demonstrates how how we think about our talents and abilities influences our success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every other area of human endeavor. People who have a fixed mindset—those who believe that their abilities are fixed—are less likely to thrive than those who have a growth mindset—those who believe that their abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can apply this concept to foster exceptional achievement.

Dweck offers new insights into her now-famous and widely accepted concept in this edition. She describes a phenomenon known as false growth mindset and guides people toward a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also extends the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to group and organizational cultures. With the right mindset, you can inspire those you lead, teach, and love to change their lives as well as your own.
