Mindset – Updated Edition

In her decades of research on achievement and success, world-renowned Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck uncovered a life-changing truth — the incredible power of our mindset.
It’s not just talent or intelligence that leads to success, but the way we believe in ourselves. Dweck shows us that when we approach challenges with a growth mindset — the belief that we can grow, learn, and improve — we unlock potential far beyond what we thought possible. She gently reminds us that praising ability alone can do more harm than good, but nurturing effort, persistence, and a love for learning can spark real confidence and deep accomplishment.
With the right mindset, we can inspire our children to believe in themselves, help them grow through struggle, and empower them to reach for more. And we, too, can chase our dreams — in our careers, our relationships, and within ourselves. This powerful idea has already transformed the lives of great parents, teachers, leaders, and athletes — and it can transform ours, too. Because once we understand how our mindset shapes our world, there’s no limit to what we can become.
