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 it''s 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 doesn''t 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.

Harness the power of a growth mindset.

Cultivating a positive outlook can help you and your team embrace strengths, see opportunities instead of problems, and even feel more engaged in routine tasks.

This book provides insights on how to create an environment where everyone can flourish and grow. You’ll learn about the effects of emotional contagion; how gratitude, feedback, and perspective matter; and how to establish an optimistic and innovative team culture.
