I found the model of this book interesting about how both mindsets affect our daily lives and the research made to define them.
And the interest ends there, I find the author tries to validate the model she came up with tons tired of historical references and research made to prove other topics but she accommodates her idea to them.
I mean again, I like the model and the ideas. The exhaustive use of examples to settle the difference between fixed mindset (losers) and growth mindset (winners) turn like an oversell of her own research which gets confused with anecdotical references and research are done by other people to prove other theories but she finds a fit for her model anyway.
And she does mention at some point that having either mind set doesn't imply a good or bad behavior per se. however, in the relationship chapter every fixed mindset example ended in a divorce or a miserable relationship and the sports and business chapters all the fixed mindset people tend to be losers in the end and everyone that has a growth mindset ended up saving their marriage or winning in their careers because of the growth mindset she identifies.
I would recommend someone to read about the model proposed here while staying away from a tiresome narrative and the use of research and examples to validate her point.
