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.
