It explains how we become optimistic or pessimistic. It shapes our goals, our attitude toward work and relationships, and how we raise our kids, ultimately predicting whether or not we will fulfill our potential. Dweck has found that everyone has one of two basic mindsets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you have the fixed mindset, you believe that your talents and abilities are set in stone–either you have them or you don’t. You must prove yourself over and over, trying to look smart and talented at all costs. This is the path of stagnation. If you have a growth mindset, however, you know that talents can be developed and that great abilities are built over time. This is the path of opportunity–and success.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDweck demonstrates that mindset unfolds in childhood and adulthood and drives every aspect of our lives, from work to sports, from relationships to parenting. She reveals how creative geniuses in all fields–music, literature, science, sports, business–apply the growth mindset to achieve results. Perhaps even more important, she shows us how we can change our mindset at any stage of life to achieve true success and fulfillment. She looks across a broad range of applications and helps parents, teachers, coaches, and executives see how they can promote the growth mindset. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHighly engaging and very practical, \u003ci\u003eMindset\u003c\/i\u003e breaks new ground as it leads you to change how you feel about yourself and your future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This book is an essential read for parents, teachers, coaches, and others who are instrumental in determining a child’s mind-set, and in turn, his or her future success, as well as for those who would like to increase their own feelings of success and fulfillment.” —Library Journal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e1.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe Mindsets\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy Do People Differ?\u003cbr\u003eWhat Does All This Mean for You?
