About this listen

The updated edition of the best-selling book that has changed millions of lives with its insights into the growth mindset.

“Through clever research studies and engaging writing, Dweck illuminates how our beliefs about our capabilities exert tremendous influence on how we learn and which paths we take in life.” (Bill Gates, GatesNotes)

After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, PhD, 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.

In this edition, Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love - to transform their lives and your own.

great but repetitive

you will get the message of the book totally dialed in because it is hammered home over and over in a somewhat repetitive fashion. I loved the book despite this.

Eye opening book!

We can all admit that we have thoughts, opinions on various subjects and specifically with our own alives. Mindset challenges these thoughts, opinions and gives new perspectives in non-judgmental ways. I listened to it twice. Very well done. Highly recommend!

Fantastic contents; subpar narrator

I loved this book and it was absolutely worth listening to. It was laser focused on delivering a clear picture of what a growth mindset is, its counterpart (the “fixed” mindset), and how to grapple with the two in your own life.

I personally had a difficult time trying to get into the rhythm of the narrator’s voice, which was a little too “uptight” for me.

Regardless, I’d listen to the book again, because there are many phenomenal demonstrations of how a growth mindset can help affect change in any number of domains.

Thanks Dr. Dweck for the amazing work! Keep growing! 💪

Mindblown.

After reading this book, I now know what I need to do in order to achieve my goals and fulfill my dreams in life. My eyes have been opened to a better way of thinking, and I know what I need to do to get there. Instead of hoping my dreams come true, as I did so much in my past, I will from now on learn and work hard to achieve my goals.

Thank you Carol! :)
