From the renowned psychologist who introduced the world to “growth mindset” comes this updated edition of the million-copy bestseller—featuring transformative insights into redefining success, building lifelong resilience, and supercharging self-improvement.

“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

“It’s not always the people who start out the smartest who end up the smartest.”

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.

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.

I loved loved loved this book. However the narration is awful. Other reviewers have said that she gets better as the book goes on. I guess this is true, but it’s still pretty bad. Luckily it wasn’t so bad that it detracted from the book, I still finished it quickly. But I think this is more a testament to Dweck’s writing than any redeeming quality in the narrator.

My kids have been talking about The Growth Mindset but I must say this book surprised me - growth mindset is not quite what I’d expected, so I’m really glad to have read up properly. I think it’ll be helpful with them and with my own ambitions.

I honestly finish books like this, but found Mindset interesting, engaging, and easy to follow. I also don’t usually speed up narration but in this case made the listen more pleasurable without sacrificing any absorption.

Pro Tip: Listen at 1.5x Speed

Thanks, for writing this book. I tried to previously read it, but had put it aside. I thoroughly enjoyed the Audible version and will use it as a tool with myself and to help my students grow.

Amazing opportunity to help myself grow as an educator
