Very interesting. I liked the emphasis on the growth mindset.I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning.I choose this rating after I read the book.

I decided to read this book because I’m interested in personal growth development. The difference between the fixed mindset and growth mindset helped bring me more clarity about which one I am essentially, which is the growth mindset. I enjoyed the short interesting read. Thank you.

Time to adopt a more refined growth mindset

Great review in a short sample size. It is packed with examples of both fixed and growth mindsets. This is the lifestyle I will live, growth mindset. Cheers.

Thank you, for enabling me to overcome inertia

I enjoyed the summary. Carol’s book has been on my To-read list for a few years but never made it into my Reading list. The summary made it possible for me to explore the key elements. Now, I am ready to read the actual book.

Very good

Dweck’s book is based on a great idea and concept but the majority of her book is fluff and this one is not. Good job!

I absolutely love this book. It is short and chock-full of helpful information. I got to see Carol Dweck at a conference, she is a great presenter.
