Psychologist Carol S. Dweck shows us how powerful the right mindset can be for improving our lives.

Many of us view intelligence, talent, and personality as fixed — we're dealt a certain hand, and there isn't much we can do to change it.

But embracing the idea that we can improve upon any skill or attribute can yield life-changing results.

Carol S. Dweck is a professor of psychology at Stanford University who researches personality, social psychology, and developmental psychology.

In Mindset, Dweck explores the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, demonstrates how embracing a growth mindset can transform your life, and shares case studies from sports, business, relationships, and parenting.
