I began reading positive thinking books many years ago, subscribing to the maxim “Garbage in, garbage out.” In other words, what I allow my brain to digest will eventually come out, so best to input good thoughts if I want positive outcomes. Over the years, I have read hundreds of self-help books.
Countless books and treatises have been written on what one can do to effect personal change. Every author has a different slant on the same subject, a different voice, enabling them to create their own version of these universal truths. This is what Herbert Robbins has attempted to do with “Growth Mindset.”
Newer readers to this category will find value in the book. Folks who have read similar books will recognize many of the principles. I recommend that newer readers who discover the importance of the principles Mr. Robbins outlines to supplement this knowledge by reading additional self-help books. Here’s why:
Remember garbage in, garbage out. Put more examples of good information in your head. It doesn’t have to be books, there are recordings (video and audio) that are just as possible. Find what works for you.
There are a few items where I questioned the author’s direction, and feel it is important to mention them. Writing down your negative beliefs is counter-productive. Instead, follow the author’s later statement and turn the negative belief into a positive statement that will promote growth. (Example: Instead of saying “I can’t learn,” one could change that to “Right now learning is difficult for me, but by dedicating myself to becoming better at , I learn more and more every day”).
I also questioned if English was the author’s first language, as some of his words conveyed different meanings than what I am accustomed to seeing. One very important occurrence happened in the positive affirmation and visualization sections. The author advises us to “chant” our affirmations, although the practice is to read them out loud three times a day so they remain foremost in our thoughts (corresponding to “You become what you think about”). Visualization (seeing yourself having attained whatever your goal is) is important, and I wonder if the author meant to say “The act of combining affirmations with visualization is what we call incantation.” The word incantation turns your affirmation into a magic spell or charm, which is NOT what affirmations are meant to be.
There are numerous other sentences with questionable words but this is the most grievous, especially since the statement is counter to how affirmations work. If I am correct that English is a second language, it would serve the author well to have another party review his book and make the necessary corrections. I commend him for publishing an important book, one with the aim of helping others. However, based upon passages like the ones I mentioned above, I can only award this version of the book three stars. Mr. Robbins does offer an important message. Equally important is the presentation.
