Book is good, but print font size too small, pressure on eyes when read it continuously

Great read

Awesome book

Font size is small and paper is not that good quality in comparison to other books. Though I am overlooking these things and will soon update my review about this book.

Page quality of this book is not so great....

Best book teaches me about mindset one of my favourites the quality is top notch.

I think the book was really good explaining when the growth/fixed mindset appears on people. It was great how the book explained the different mindsets in every possible way: business, sports, education, childhood... every person can benefit from the different stories. At the end it was addressed how to be more aware of the fixed mindset, I would love to have more tips on how to overcome the fixed mindset. Recommended for everyone

It's tough to imagine a book that could have a more profound impact upon a person's self-perception than Mindset, it is a truly phenomenal work that is both easy to read and packed with in-depth research and justifications for the author's hypothesis on learning and development. The book shelf for self-help/useful psychology is incredibly bloated and it always seems like the next book has more ringing praise than the last and, whilst I've read some excellent books on clinical psychology that are peerless, this will always be the book that I remember most fondly for changing my *own* mindset to one where failure was a necessary bump in the road to success, and not an irreversible breakdown. Bear in mind, this isn't a book that will simply inform you, it's a book that will actively change you. The core concept that Dweck puts across is that humans generally fall into two types of mindset when it comes to achievement, success, learning and ability; the growth mindset and the fixed mindset. Quintessentially the growth mindset is the "Practice makes perfect"/"Try, try and try again"/"Back in the saddle" school of thought whereas the fixed mindset is typically the "I've either got a knack for it or I haven't"/"Talent is born, not developed"/"If I need to practice then I can't be that good". Needless to say in the pages within Dweck tries to detach people from a fixed mindset and steer them towards the growth version, giving plenty of real life and 'laboratory' examples of her conceptions and why they do, and should, matter to us. This is not just a book aimed at children either, we should never stop growing as people and everyone from students to seasoned academics or established athletes to those just joining an MMA club will find much to mull after reading this. The only gripe I had when reading was the author's irritating habit of stuffing politics, particularly gender politics, into her extrapolations about different peoples attitudes to learning and the impact this has on the academic, corporate and political world. With this being Dweck's life's work as a psychologist I would have preferred she keep her political conjugating to herself to instead focus on the fascinating subject matter, she is free of course to release numerous other books covering such other topics as she so wishes. In summary, if you want to be convinced (within reason) that 'Effort is what creates success' then buy this book immediately.

Sou professor universitário há vários anos e sempre escolho livros adicionais para ler junto com os alunos e conversar com eles a respeito, no modo proposto por meu ex-professor Vicente Falconi Campos: grupo da cumbuca. Em minha opinião, o livro da Carol de Weck ajuda muito tanto professores como alunos a reconhecerem seus modelos mentais e, se desejarem, melhorá-los. Após ler o livro, penso que meus alunos podem aprender qualquer coisa, desde que: i) desejem; ii) encontrem a estratégia de aprendizagem que funciona para eles e mais importante, iii) se esforcem para aprender.

Veey good lesson in this book

Make it happen! There are 8 months until the Winter Olympics that will begin Feb. 7th, 2014. Now is a good time to coach your children about the meaning of "success", "champion" and the "agony of defeat." Throughout the games we'll hear inspirational stories about athletes that work hard, meet challenges head on, and learn from past mistakes. "Mindset"appears to be a classic within teaching and psychology circles. This easy-to-read book, will guide you in coaching your children to have a growth mindset, rather than a fixed mindset, that will help them achieve success, jump over hurdles, and think like a champion. In order to benefit from "Mindset", you're going to first have to take a cold, hard look at your parenting skills. Have you ever said or thought, "My child is a natural athlete, or artist, or genious"? Shockingly, Dweck's research shows that such statements can provoke a fixed mindset, harming motivation and performance because of the implication that failure means you're not talented or you're dumb. She notes "...one thing leads to another - how a belief that your qualities are carved in stone leads to a host of thoughts and actions and how a belief that you can cultivate your qualities leads to a host of different thoughts and actions, taking you down an entirely different road." Dweck doesn't stop with just one or two convicting examples. She assails you with an onslaught of examples, one after another, to prove her point. Her illustrations cover everything from sports, to school, to business. She builds a strong case that certain "natural" athletes, such as John McEnroe, demonstrated a fixed mindset that prevented them from facing failure with grace and fortitude. McEnroe was notorious for tantrums on the court when he was near defeat. And, he gushed excuses for every setback-hardly what anyone would call a "good sport". A fixed mindset also explains why the obsession in hiring "talent", by execs such as Lay and Skilling, of ethically-challenged Enron, resulted in the downfall of an entire conglomerate. At critical decision points they "blamed others, covered mistakes, and pumped up stock prices...". Whereas athletes such as Michal Jordan and Pete Sampras and business leaders such as Jack Welch, accomplished GE CEO, all had growth mindsets, shown by the way they overcame difficulties, worked hard, and championed to great success. Their egos were always in check, which kept them in touch with reality and their humanity. Time and again, Dweck demonstrates that skills and achievement come from commitment and effort, not from natural smarts or physical attributes. Over and over, Dweck emphasizes the growth mindset that is notable in champions such as Wilma Rudolph, First American woman Runner to win three gold medals at a single Olympics. According to Wilma, "My mom taught me very early to believe I could achieve any accomplishment I wanted to. The first was to walk without braces." This growth mindset belief, instilled by her mother, cultivated Wilma's ability to walk. Her step-by-step determination and discipline, catapulted Wilma, at age 12, to defeat paralysis in her leg, shed the brace, become a champion and work her way towards becoming an Olympian. But what can you do if you're a fixed-mindset-pushing-for-over-a-decade parent? Dweck explains that everyone can teach and encourage a growth mindset. In fact, with training, Dweck says that success can be achieved in all facets of life, including education, sports, relationships, and careers. Dweck gives a number of practical exercises to help anyone train others in her methodology and work through to growth-minded solutions. From these models, instead of saying "you're a genious", you'll learn to say "see what you can achieve when you work hard". Dweck makes it clear that her paradigm does not include preferences and that change is not easy. She says that, in relationships, individuals "have to actually want to change, commit to change and take action to change." She concedes that maintaining a growth mindset "takes plenty of time, effort, and mutual support." Before the Olympics begin, make-up your mind to read "Mindset", and start training your children to grow their minds and go for the gold... Make it happen!
