Book Overview:
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 mindsetāthose who believe that abilities are fixedāare less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindsetāthose 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 loveāto transform their lives and your own.
3DI Review:
Mindset was referenced in our 3D Coaching Course for Certification on more than one occasion. This book was very instrumental in the development of our 2nd Dimension content on Motivation and Confidence. While we referenced a couple of key points from the book in the training, we highly recommend reading the book in it's entirety to take your learning to an entirely new level. It's well worth the investment!
