The updated edition of the book that has changed millions of lives with its insights into the
growth mindset. 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 mindset-those who believe that abilities are fixed-are less
likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset-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 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 love-to
transform their lives and your own. Praise for Mindset A good book is one whose advice you
