The book Mindset: Changing The Way You Think To Fulfill Your Potential is written by Dr. Carol Dweck. One day, my students sat me down and ordered me to write this book. They wanted people to be able to use our work to improve their lives. It was something I had wanted to do for a long time, but it became my number one priority.
My work is part of a tradition in psychology that shows the power of people’s beliefs. These may or may not be beliefs that we are aware of, but they strongly affect what we want and whether we get it. This tradition also shows how changing people’s beliefs, even the simplest beliefs, can have profound effects.
In this book, you’ll learn how a simple belief about yourself, a belief we discovered in our research, guides a large part of your life. In fact, it permeates every part of your life. Much of what you think of as your personality actually stems from this “mindset.” Much of what may be holding you back from fulfilling your potential stems from it.

Overview of Mindset: Changing The Way You Think To Fulfill Your Potential
Dweck explains why it’s not just our skills and talents that bring us success, but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes it clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn’t build self-esteem and lead to achievement, but can actually jeopardize success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our children and help them improve their grades, as well as help them achieve their own goals, both personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs, and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can create a love of learning and resilience that is the foundation for great achievement in all areas.
