Welcome to Mindset: How to nurture and develop a growth mindset in yourself and others.
In this book, I will describe the concepts of a growth and a fixed mindset, the advantages of the growth mindset, and some ideas on how to nurture and develop a growth mindset in yourself and others. Additionally, I will give my suggestions on how to implement a growth mindset culture in companies.
The term and concept of a growth mindset was developed by psychologist Carol Dweck and popularised in her book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. She and her team have studied people, and identified two distinct mindsets. People can have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. These different mindsets are really important when it comes to learning.
Dweck and her team have found huge advantages and possibilities of the growth mindset. A growth mindset is the foundation for great learning. Additionally, as we will see in this book, a growth mindset will enhance the quality of life.
My aim is to make the information clear, precise, and easy to understand.
