Mindset By Carol Dweck
Mindset is an amazing book by Carol Dweck who is a professor of psychology at Stanford University.
Mindset is everything. It is equally important in your personal and professional life, so why not read about it.
No matter what your ability is, the effort is, what ignites that ability and turns it into an accomplishment is your mindset.
Key Points
- There are two mindsets
- Growth mindset and a fixed mindset
- People with a fixed mindset are less likely to grow and achieve in life
- People with a fixed mindset believe that their abilities, knowledge, intelligence is fixed and can't be developed
- The growth mindset allows people to value what they are doing regardless of the outcome.
- People with a growth mindset expand themselves and work on challenging issues.
- Many growths minded people did not ever plan to go to the top. It's ironic.
- The top is where the fixed-mindset people hunger to be, but its where many growths minded people arrive as a by-product of their enthusiasm for what they do.
- These five books are highly recommended to be a part of your reading list in 2020. Even if you have already read, I would strongly recommend to read them again this year. No matter how many times you read them you will always learn something valuable. I hope you will like reading these books.
- Keep reading, keep growing.
