About this audiobook
The updated edition of the book that has changed millions of lives with its insights into the growth mind-set.
After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, PhD, discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mind-set. In this brilliant audiobook, 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 mind-set — those who believe that abilities are fixed — are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mind-set — those 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 mind-set and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mind-set. She also expands the mind-set concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mind-set, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love — to transform their lives and your own.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An excellent discussion of a valuable concept. As I implemented the principles Dweck outlines in this book I found my thinking and my self-talk profoundly transformed. As a result, I now think of failure, challenges and setbacks -- not as indictments on my character or potential -- but rather as opportunities for learning and growth.
