The Growth Mindset. A New Perspective on the Psychology of Adult and Child Development

At the core of this book lies a revolutionary concept discovered by renowned psychologist Carol Dweck as a result of 20 years of her own research.

From it, you will learn:
- why intelligence and talent do not guarantee success,
- how they can actually hinder it,
- why often encouragement of the mind and talent puts achievements at risk,
- and how to improve a child's academic performance or a manager's productivity.
People with a fixed mindset believe that innate intelligence and talent are static. They spend time proving to everyone that they are smart and talented rather than developing their abilities. Moreover, they believe that talent leads to success on its own. And they are wrong.

People with a growth mindset believe that all qualities can be developed through systematic self-improvement, and the initial level of intelligence and talent is just a starting point. This approach fosters a love for lifelong learning and resilience in the face of challenges and failures. It is hard to find any outstanding person who does not possess these qualities.

The transition to a growth mindset enhances motivation and productivity in business, education, and sports. It enriches personal relationships.

When you read this book, you will learn how this happens.
