This book is based on a revolutionary concept discovered by renowned psychologist Carol Dweck after 20 years of her own research. From it, you will learn:
- why intelligence and talent do not guarantee success,
- how, on the contrary, they can obstruct it,
- why often encouraging intelligence 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 instead of 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 consistent self-improvement, and that the initial level of intelligence and talent is just a starting point. This approach fosters a love of lifelong learning and resilience in the face of difficulties and failures. It's hard to find any outstanding individual who does not possess these traits.
The shift 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.
Who this book is for:
- For anyone focused on personal growth.
- For those who manage people.
- For educators and coaches.
- For parents who want to raise successful children.
Unique feature of the book:
Carol Dweck decided to write this book after her students literally insisted that she share her discoveries with the world, made over 20 years of research.
