It works well, in my experience, they seem to set your day on a very good path from the get-go and then it continues the positive spiral.

The challenge is to stick to it every day. See all 14 reviews. Amazon Giveaway allows you to run promotional giveaways in order to create buzz, reward your audience, and attract new followers and customers. Learn more about Amazon Giveaway.

If you agree more with the sentences 1, and 2, you are mostly behaving and operating with a fixed-mindset, and if you identify yourself with sentences 3, and 4, you operating with a growth-mindset. When asked people, ranging from children to young adults: When Do You Feel Smart: When you are flawless or when you are learning? Here are how differently people with a fixed-mindset replied: And this is how people with growth-mindset replied: When I work on something for a long time and I start to figure it out.

Which set of answers resonates most with you? There was a saying in which read: The fixed-mindset robs people from the luxury of becoming. They have to already be. I chose relationship since I guess there are lots of myths around this topic we all once craved to find our one true soulmate I guess , and also you must beware that even people with growth-mindset, might approach a domain like relationships with fixed-mindset. People with fixed-mindset think that if their relationship is the right one, and if they are compatible with one another, well, this means most things will fall into its place.

In the face of problems, they tremble and threads of doubts and fears start to sneak in. People with fixed-mindset say if this is the right relationship and if we are compatible, there must be no need for hustle and hard work to get it to work.

Discover How To Have The Best Mindset In Life

Remember the delusions sparked by the fixed-mindset? Every marriage demands an effort to keep it on the right track; there is a constant tension. As with personal achievement, this belief—that success should not need effort—robs people of the very thing they need to make their relationship thrive. How do I go from fixed-mindset to growth-mindset In this section, I share with you how you can adopt a growth mindset. Congrats, we have already taken the first step by shedding the light on these two modes of thinking. Regardless of these further steps, the sheer awareness of these two mindsets takes you a long way, but, it may not be enough.

One way which is a profoundly effective way to instill the growth-mindset is studying the lives of great performers, and world-known figures like Michael Jordan, Mozart, Michelangelo, etc. Why, you might ask. If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset View all 4 comments. Mar 12, Michael rated it it was amazing.

This one sounds like a typical self-help book, but it's a real find. The author is a pyschology researcher at Columbia, and her book is filled with insights and illustrations regarding the differences that a fixed mindset vs. Her research has been highlighted in many venues, including an excellent book on parenting titled Nurture Shock. I give it 5 stars because I can see so much of myself i Excellent book. I give it 5 stars because I can see so much of myself in the book's description of the fixed mindset.

The book's message spoke to me and the mindset I've adopted in some areas of my life. I'm particularly prone to the "Effort Gone Awry" scenario where I would work hard, but not with a growth mindset i. Rather, I'd be working hard to prove myself to others. I worked hard to have achievements that would validate my self worth and adopted identity.

The downside is that you end up being unwilling to take risks or face tough challenges if you fail, your self worth goes down. Also, you end up running yourself ragged and being stressed out because you're afraid of losing the approval of others if you don't succeed. I find the growth mindset fits very well within a Christian perspective as our life in God needs to be always one of continual growth -- "higher up and deeper in" as C.

I like the diagram on p. I need to continually ask myself: For the people around me? As I think of opportunities and form a plan, I need to ask: When, where, and how will I embark on my plan? As I encounter difficulties, I need to ask: When, where, and how will I act on my new plan? And when you succeed, ask yourself: What do I have to do to maintain and continue the growth?

Jul 30, Kirsten rated it did not like it. Let me preface this review by saying that my boss made me read this book, because, apparently, reading assignments are something that I should have as a 5th year PhD candidate. Not only that, but I'm pretty sure no one should require me to read a shitty waste-of time self help book. Let me save you the money and the aggrivation: The point of this book is admittedly not terrible, but it could be summed up real fast. Here you go, you're welcome.

Often, people see their abilities as 'fixed' and thi Let me preface this review by saying that my boss made me read this book, because, apparently, reading assignments are something that I should have as a 5th year PhD candidate. Often, people see their abilities as 'fixed' and this attitude stops them from working to better themselves, turns out that if you work hard and keep the right can-do attitude, that you can accomplish more than if you think you're doomed to be a particular skill level forever.

There are examples of this all around you. What you get with this book is an endless diatribe. Hey, you remember that thing that happened in history? This is true of literally any example in history ever no matter how poorly researched it might be. That guy from that one business that went bad? Seriously, I don't think I have ever read something so repetitive and belabored in my life. Sure, lady, you make a good point: People shouldn't limit themselves. Maybe give it a break after about 15 pages and I think it would probably be plenty.

Also, Bitch, if you tell me that I wouldn't be depressed if I just had a better attitude about it, I'm going to be upset and lose faith in your credibility. Seriously, kids, don't waste your time on this. And if your boss tells you to read it, don't bother, just read this helpful review again. Oct 25, Jamie Doerschuck rated it did not like it Shelves: I think a lot of people who rated this book highly must have had a "fixed mindset".

I think this book was a waste of money, personally. The tone of the book is very repetitive and annoying.

Essentially people with a growth mindset are better than people without it in every possible way. If you have a fixed mindset you'll have lower grades in school, be unhappier, die earlier, be fatter, be more likely to never get married, make a bundle less money, you name it! It reads more like fear mongering I think a lot of people who rated this book highly must have had a "fixed mindset".

It reads more like fear mongering than actual research, rattling off a list of everyone's most basic fears "But if you listen to me, Carol Dweck, all of your dreams and more will come true! I also don't recall Dweck listing many references to any of her research, you're just supposed to take her stories at face value "Because I'm a researcher! Mindset offers a lot of words with little substance. I will admit that I haven't finished the book, and I don't plan to. Dweck's tone really just grated on my nerves, and I don't feel I gained anything useful from reading what parts of the book I read.

I can't imagine anything more useful coming to light at the end. Recommended in Stanford Magazine and by Guy Kawasaki. A very useful book about the growth mindset. Essentially, the book makes a case that those people who look at everything they do in life as a learning opportunity are much more successful. I think where this comes into play most often is when we face a setback, or a failure.

Whether thats getting rejected from something a job, a team, etc , messing up at work, having your boss yell at you, losing at something, getting laid off, making a bad b Recommended in Stanford Magazine and by Guy Kawasaki.

Whether thats getting rejected from something a job, a team, etc , messing up at work, having your boss yell at you, losing at something, getting laid off, making a bad bet, etc - most of us have many setbacks in our lives. How we deal with those is incredibly important. If we let the setback define us, we might think we aren't talented after all, and lose confidence. If on the other hand, we look at it as something we can learn from, we improve as a person. I came at the book as it was recommended to me as being good for parents. My daughter is only 1.

The book recommends praising our children's efforts, instead of their results. Telling them they are "amazing", and "smart" is so easy to do, but if you do that their whole lives they won't succeed when they get to the real world. What you want is to encourage a learning attitude. This quote sums it up: Should we deny them the praise they have earned? I guess that was too easy.

I apologize for wasting your time. And you can't fail at a personal challenge! Here is a great mental imagery technique the book mentioned when you are doing something you are bad at: You see this in sports all the team - the champion team from last year thinks they can cruise through this year, doesn't work hard, and suddenly they are losing a lot. It's so hard to maintain the edge. John Wooden puts it best: Dec 27, Stark rated it really liked it.

This is probably all i really need to hear out of this book, but i will read the whole thing anyway. Believing that your qualities are carved in stone -- the fixed mindset -- creates an urgency to prove yourself over and over.

If you have only a certain amount of intelligence, a certain personality, and a certain moral character -- well, then you'd better prove you have a healthy dose of them. It simply wouldn't do to look or feel deficient in these most This is probably all i really need to hear out of this book, but i will read the whole thing anyway. It simply wouldn't do to look or feel deficient in these most basic characteristics. I've seen so many people with this one consuming goal of proving themselves -- in the classroom, in their careers, and in their relationships. Every situation calls for a confirmation of their intelligence, personality, or character.

Every situation is evaluated: Will I succeed or fail? Will I look smart or dumb?

Will I be accepted or rejected? Will I feel like a winner or a loser? There's another mindset in which these traits are not simply a hand you're dealt and have to live with, always trying to convince yourself and others that you have a royal flush when you are secretly worried it's a pair of tens. In this mindset, the hand you're dealt is just the starting point for development. This growth mindset is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can cultivate through your efforts.

Do people with this mindset believe that anyone can be anything, that anyone with proper motivation or education can become Einstein or Beethoven? No, but they believe that a person's true potential is unknown and unknowable ; that's its impossible to forsee what can be accomplished with years of passion, toil, and training.

Watered down and scientifically not that accurate grit is a part of conscientiousness - see studies below , welcome to education's favorite book! Here is my two sentence summary of this book best spoken in kindergartner teacher voice: There are two kinds of people in the world, people who believe things are fixed, others who believe they can change through hard work and effort, so believe in the ladder and success will open in front of you!

Hooray you are a special snowflake that can grow! Heav Watered down and scientifically not that accurate grit is a part of conscientiousness - see studies below , welcome to education's favorite book! Heavy on the inspirational stories and antidotes, light on the data to support some of the arguments and essentially void of the how to. I agree that the right attitude, one that embraces struggle and hard work in order to increase your talents which are not fixed, but fluid , helps you succeed in life. But it's about putting ideas into action.

This book offers very little practical advice or steps one can take in order to do so.

See a Problem?

I think most people, after reading this, get that warm fuzzy feeling that wow, this makes sense! But then that fades, and life resumes, and it's just a book on the shelf. Maybe even a companion book to put this idea into action to train the elephant in you thanks Happiness Hypothesis. Ultimately, success requires the right attitude but also the sweat to make it happen. And this doesn't really offer practical steps on how to make it happen.

There ain't no short cut. Studies that debunk this book: View all 3 comments. Jul 24, Alex rated it it was ok Shelves: Another book that attempts to build upon the research of Anders Ericsson. The way I read it, I would break the book into 3 parts: How people fail because they don't have the right mindset Part 2: How people success because they have the right mindset Part 3: You could also call this part 2a - it basically deals with children and success in school, home, etc. The first part of the book was the worst. Its case after case of "this person tried to succeed and failed because he didn't have the rig Another book that attempts to build upon the research of Anders Ericsson.

Its case after case of "this person tried to succeed and failed because he didn't have the right mindset". So what was the right mindset? She doesn't tell you. How do you obtain it, or get into that mindset? She tells you whats wrong without explaining WHY it is wrong, etc. She sorta reserves that for the next part of the book. Also, there is no form. Its kind of a rambling, unorganized mess. You read it and are wondering "Ok, this person failed, that person failed. They didn't have the right mindset.

The second part of the book has all these success stories, and she tells you that they were successful because they had the right mindset. She delves slightly into what the right mindset is, but there really aren't a new revelations here. And she never tells you how to get into that mindset. IOW, there is nothing in the book about motivation intrinsic or extrinsic. There is nothing about background and upbringing or lessons learn earlier in life.

There is no compare and contrast with the first part of the book to bring things into a proper context. IOW, shes not teaching you about mindset, shes just telling you. Its like describing to someone how the piano is played vs actually giving someone lessons. If you are interested in this type of material, check out Geoffry Colvin's "Talent Is Overrated" and Matthew Sayid's "Bounce" - preferably in that order.

Read it and you will see all that this book is missing. And though Colvin's book can get dry at time, it still has forward movement, and ideas build upon previous ones, and things are explained very well.
