World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck in decades of research on achievement and success has discovered a truly groundbreaking idea-the power of our mindset. Dweck explains why its not just our abilities and talent that bring us success-but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesnt foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment but may actually jeopardize success. With the right mindset we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades as well as reach our own goals-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 a resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area.
