Mindset
The New Psychology of Success
Believing you can grow changes what you achieve.
Carol Dweck distinguishes between a fixed mindset, where abilities are seen as static, and a growth mindset, where they can be developed through effort and learning. Drawing on decades of research, she shows how this belief shapes success in business, education, sports, and relationships. The book argues that embracing challenges and learning from failure is the path to growth.
