Mindset

“Mindset change is not about picking up a few pointers here and there. It's about seeing things in a new way. When people...change to a growth mindset, they change from a judge-and-be-judged framework to a learn-and-help-learn framework. Their commitment is to growth, and growth take plenty of time, effort, and mutual support.”

Mindset:  The New Psychology of Success takes us on a journey into how our conscious and unconscious thoughts affect us and how something as simple as wording can have a powerful impact on our ability to improve. There are two main mindsets we can navigate life with: growth and fixed. Having a growth mindset is essential for success.

Her work shows the power of our most basic beliefs.

This book is filled with real, human stories, along with science and is a must read if you are stuck in beliefs that begin with “I’m not” or I can’t”.
