Mindset by Carol Dweck explores how our beliefs about intelligence and ability can have a profound impact on our motivation, learning and success. She starts the book by discussing two main ways of thinking: a fixed mindset in which people believe their level of intelligence is unchangeable and a growth mindset, in which people believe intelligence is something that can be developed and grown through effort. Dweck reveals how a person’s mindset can be altered at any point in their life and how it took her until she was conducting her own research on motivation and learning to realize she had a fixed mindset. She elaborated on her own experiences with this realization and how you can have a fixed mindset in some areas of life and a growth mindset in others. This realization helped her deepen her understanding of how mindsets work and influenced her approach to studying and teaching about them.
Throughout Mindset, Carol weaves in examples from education, business, sports and relationships, showing the diversity of ways that mindsets can influence our lives. She keeps the reader engaged by providing pop-culture examples of people like Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan, who have worked hard to maintain a growth mindset throughout their careers and who never stop trying to be better. By providing numerous examples, Dweck allows the reader to see how applicable mindsets can be and she shows us how having a growth mindset leads to more motivation and resilience, while a fixed mindset can hold people back by making them afraid of failure. Not only was this book engaging, but it made psychology research into something that everyone can easily understand and learn from. Regardless of if you are a researcher, teacher, business associate, parent or just a person who wants to reframe their ideas about intelligence and ability, this book is for you!
While Mindset offers many great examples of growth mindsets and how to adjust your thinking, it could have provided more specific details on ways to apply these ideas in a more long term way. The implementation of how to create a growth mindset could be especially beneficial in schools and workplaces and examples of how to help employees reframe their mindsets would have been a great addition to this book. Mindset has the ability to impact education in particular, as feedback from professors if framed in the right way, could provide students with the push and support they need to open their minds and believe in themselves. If students believe they have the ability to grow their intelligence, this could not only positively impact their education, but would also seep into other aspects of their lives like future careers and relationships.
This book shows us the potentially powerful impact of wise interventions, which are small but meaningful ways to alter people’s beliefs and actions. One intervention example that Dweck uses focuses on how people interpret the challenges they face. If we view challenges as opportunities for growth rather than a threat to our integrity, this can allow us to benefit in the future and learn from our failures or mistakes. A small change in our mindset can have a greater impact than we ever thought possible.
Overall, Mindset is a very well-written, applicable and thought provoking book. It allowed me to reflect on my own mindset and think about the ways that I can improve my appraisal of challenges I face in the future. Mindset gave me confidence in my own abilities and inspired me to try even harder the next time I struggle with a failure. For anyone who is looking to understand how mindset can impact success, this book is a great read.

What is "mindset," and how does it shape our lives?
Dr. Carol S. Dweck's Mindset explores two fundamental types of mindsets:

Fixed Mindset: Believing abilities are innate and unchangeable.
Growth Mindset: Embracing challenges and seeing effort as the path to mastery.
Through numerous real-life examples from fields like education, sports, music, and parenting, the book helps readers understand how these mindsets influence success and failure.

Likes and Dislikes:
The book provides valuable insights and plenty of real-life examples to illustrate the concept of mindset. However, the frequent repetition of the terms "Fixed Mindset" and "Growth Mindset" can become frustrating. At times, the repetitive stories make the book feel longer than necessary.

Recommendation:
If you're looking to change your perspective and better understand how mindset influences your approach to challenges, this book is worth a try. Just be prepared for some repetition along the way.

Rating: 2/5

[Frida · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed reading this book. I think it could have been slightly shorter, but at least she drove the point home in many different ways. The most important thing is that I have made a real mindset shift after reading this. I am in a growth mindset in many settings, but very limited in others. So it helps to remind myself of the examples in the book to reframe how I look at a situation.
I do see some flaws in the book connected to mental health and burnout, and that’s why I don’t give it a 5.

[Kerry Baker · Rating 2 out of 5]

If you've read other mindset books, the constant repetition of Fixed Mindset and Growth Mindset can get annoying. The repeated stories make the book feel longer than necessary, and honestly, I was bored and tired of hearing about teaching children. Even as a parent with an interest in the topic, it felt repetitive and drawn out, and I was disappointed, to be honest.

Buku Mindset menunjukkan bahwa kesuksesan lebih ditentukan oleh pola pikir kita dibandingkan bakat alami. Dengan menumbuhkan growth mindset, kita menjadi lebih resilien, adaptif, dan berorientasi pada proses belajar yang terus-menerus.

[Luis Chaves · Rating 1 out of 5]

It's not a long book, but the reading makes you feel like you're reading the bible. If you're looking for a book full of repetitive stories, pick this. All the concepts of fixed/growth mindset can be learned in Chapter 1. The rest are exactly the same stories in different areas.

Message ist gut, aber mir gefällt die Schreibweise nicht. Hat sich sehr in die Länge gezogen.

⭐⭐⭐.5 /5

I'm just leaving this as a note,

Reading this book is like opening a version of yourself that you willingly want to be fixed and potentially grow.

It's an evident presentation of every individuals, that if we chose a certain mindset were bringing it for the rest of our lives unless we make a point of understanding it and do something to change and grow.
