"This is a lfe changing book, if read with an open mind, and especially early in ones life.
I keep buying copies to give young people.
Carol Dweck, has a long research career on this topic, so she knows what she is talking about. I have heard her speak, and have interacted with her in small groups and 1-on-1. She knows what she is talking about..
I did not give this book a 5-star, only because the writing did not have the pace and flow that one is used to from professional journalists. Remember that Dweck is an academic who has tried to make her work accessible to a lay audience. This should not diminish the content in any way. Also, while other authors keeps referring to Dweck in many ways, I don't know anyone else who has written a similar work for a lay audience.
Reading this book alone is not going to change your life. It is just the start of a journey, or continuation with renewed interest if you are already on this journey. I'd say to read it quickly, get the gist of it, and then be open to the lessons you will begin to see all around you that point in the same direction."
"Informative book concerning two basic mindsets on how to view the world - a fixed view, and a "growth" view. I saw a lot of things I could do to improve my own outlook on life after reading this book. I debated between 3-4 stars - the content is very good, but the presentation within the book leaves a little to be desired."
"The subtitle on this really bugs me because it sounds so "positive thinking"-ish; I nearly didn't pick up the book on the basis of the title, alone. But it might be the most useful non-fiction book I've read in a long time. It addresses a question that has long bothered me, which is whether it is really possible for people to change long ingrained habits of thought and behavior. It seems to me that almost anyone would benefit from reading this book."
"This book has helped me so much in my work with girls. I wish I had read it while I was writing "The Curse of the Good Girl!" So many of the patterns Dweck writes about -- the tendency to avoid risks when learning something new or to try to do something right on the first try -- are behaviors I see in girls trying to be perfect. This book is in the tradition of Malcolm Gladwell's work. I love the author's personal voice - she's very up front about her own "fixed mindset." A fabulous read."
