Carol Dweck, a world-renowned Stanford University psychologist, has unearthed a genuinely innovative insight in her decades of research on accomplishment and success: the impact of our thinking.
Dweck illustrates why our success is determined not by our abilities and talent, but by whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset.
She explains why praising intelligence and skill does not build self-esteem or lead to achievement, but rather puts one's achievements in jeopardy.
We can motivate our children and help them improve their grades, as well as achieve our own personal and professional goals, if we have the appropriate mindset.
If you manage any people or if you are a parent (which is a form of managing people), drop everything and read Mindset. - Guy Kawasaki, author of The Art of the Start
