The New Psychology of Success
Psychologist Carol S. Dweck explains the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, and how believing you can improve changes what you achieve.
Three big ideas
- Two mindsetsA fixed mindset sees ability as set; a growth mindset sees it as something you can build.
- Effort builds abilityWith practice and good strategies, people get better at most things.
- Mistakes help you learnPeople with a growth mindset treat failure as feedback, not proof they're not good enough.
