Product Description
World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success, has learned a truly groundbreaking thought–the power of our mindset.
Dweck clarifies why it’s not just our abilities and talent that bring us success–but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn’t foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment, but may really jeopardize success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades, as well as reach our own goals–personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all fantastic parents, teachers, CEOs, and athletes already know: how a simple thought about the brain can make a like of learning and a resilience that is the basis of fantastic accomplishment in every area.

Although Carol Dweck is a women, I feel this book would do well in a college “women studies” class. Excellent stuff, but a small tuff on guys and pity for women. Maybe I am stuck in a “Mindset”, but harps a small too much on women issues for me. I will be alble to utilize some material from the book, but would suggest it as a excellent read for women.

I had read some parts of the book and chose to own a copy. The fee is not cheap but when I received the copy, it looks like everything is shrunk. The paper is very low grade and dark.
Go for the hardcover or CD if you want to own one!!!!

The book gave me an appealing and unique way of looking at learning and especially my own weaknesses and strengths.

i wish i had the last 3 hours of my life back – this book could have been abridged to one page lacking any devaluation. the leader’s central premise is intriguing and definitively convincing, but sorry to say, the book goes downhill from there. i was expecting even the faintest hint of actual psychological/scientific evidence to buttress the thesis but sorry to say received 250 pages of hodge-podge anecdotes more befitting of Teen People magazine. to say this book was repetitive is a gracious understatement – the leader proffers nothing even slightly resembling novel insight past the opening introduction.
this book is basically an anti-intellectual fluff piece targeted for the lowest common denominator. not my cup of tea.

I had read a reference to this book in another, scholarly book, and read the reviews on amazon before ordering it. It came yesterday and last night it went out with the trash, where in my mindset, it belongs. One gets all the insight one needs from the very first sentence of the book in which the leader states her students commanded her to write the book. She had to, just had to share her remarkable insights with the world, and make it a better place. I spent an hour trying to salvage any reason for spending more time with it, but to no aim. The book is bloated beyond belief, repetitive, and written in a style that veers between messianic and Dr. Phil.
So why the positive reviews of the book? The message is positive and reassuring to persons who earnestly want to improve their lives and persons closest to them. Some people may have believed that such efforts were fruitless because they aren’t “smart enough.” This mindset, as the title indicates, can be our largest hindrance to improvement. I agree completely. My complaint with the book is not with its thesis, but with the execution of the thoughts, which is simply horrible, and the leader’s own mindset, that of a blowhard egomaniac, that is to blame. The book should have been cut-rate to a forceful, well loved magazine article.
