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.

Good content but too many unnecessary personal stories. Much better skimmed for main and worthwhile ideas
So many pages for a few ideas. Blame on me that I was expecting something different.
Could have been an article. Current phase of life made the concept-repetition-through-examples bearable.
I was already familiar with Dweck's fixed vs. growth mindset framework, and I am a big fan of it. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy reading this entire book about it and found myself skimming or skipping over long sections or chapters on topics I was less interested in reading.
