This book is written in the form of a self-help book, so readers will find many interesting and educational tidbits of advice on how to live the best life possible. What is really interesting and worth admiring about this book is that Dweck did a tremendous amount of work before she wrote her book.
Based on many observations during many years of research, the author developed something called a "mindset" of how different humans perceive different things in different ways and thus live differently. The author recognized that, based on her observations, there are two distinct, radically different mindsets; however, both of these separate mindsets can be connected with some success. Truly interesting literature to read and to study, Mindset: The New Psychology Today is a book that is here to open new horizons.
The book itself is never boring or dull. On the contrary, it will take a reader on a journey that will teach him something new and valuable to lead him toward a better life. There is a special approach of this achievement; this is the acknowledging of the mindset. Either a fixed or a growth mindset, it is important to understand the difference this capability brings in people. And this book discusses just this. Mindset will offer you some insight of the right mindset to approach and, therefore, to achieve your goals.
Also, it presents the most important psychological strategies backed by science that will help you to improve your life and to change its course dramatically. Thus, you will see how our mindset is in charge of the proper way you should be dealing with tough situations and setbacks.
Even more, you will emerge your willingness to clarify how you can deal with certain situations. When failing, the fixed mindset people try to repair their self-esteem, looking for people who are worse off than they are, and assigning blame or making excuses.
For the people who believe their current qualities can be developed, failing still hurts, but it also signals that their abilities can be expanded. From the point of view of the fixed mindset, effort is only for people with deficiencies. In the growth mindset, doing nothing about something you want badly is almost inconceivable. The fixed mindset limits achievement.
It also turns other people into judges instead of allies. In growth mindset, important achievements require a clear focus, all-out effort, and countless strategies to test and implement. Plus, people are allies, aiding the journey towards learning and improving.
Can anyone do anything? This would be entitlement, a concept often connected with the fixed mindset. Instead, people with character:. People with the growth mindset are the ones who show the most character or heart, and hold the mindset of a champion. As the author states in the book:. One of the most important reasons why some companies go from good to great is having a leader who can guide the company into greatness.
These effective leaders have the growth mindset. They believe in human and corporate development. The company is simply a platform for personal validation.
Once people decide to move from a fixed to a growth mindset, they experience setbacks and disappointments. Change is hard and sticking to a new mindset is not always easy. To change, however, they first need to identify the root of their fixed mindset. As the author highlights, usually the narrative plays out like this:.
It told them who they were or who they wanted to be a smart, talented child , and it told them how to be that perform well. In this way, it provided a formula for self-esteem, and a path to love and respect from others. In other words, initially, it was a straightforward source for affirmation and love.
However, over time the person might end up identifying completely with the fixed mindset traits. Changing a mindset requires people to give up this source of self-esteem. After all, the fixed mindset controls most internal monologues and offers refuge from uncertainty and self-doubt.
Growth-oriented scientists, artists, athletes, and CEOs are people in the full flower of their individuality and potency. That idea comes from the fixed mindset: These students are dim-witted, so they need the same simple things drummed into them over and over.
Well, the results are depressing. Students repeat the whole grade without learning any more than they knew before. Instead, Marva Collins took inner-city Chicago kids who had failed in the public schools and treated them like geniuses. No light in the eyes, no hope in the face. Shortly before, he had visited a rich suburban high school where many students had never heard of Shakespeare. The students read deeply and thoughtfully. Collins, if we do not learn and work hard, we will take an Icarian flight to nowhere.
