'The value of this book extends way beyond the world of education. It's just as relevant for business people who want to cultivate talent and for parents who want to raise their kids to thrive on challenge' BILL GATES

World-renowned Stanford University psychologist, Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success, has discovered a truly groundbreaking idea - the power of our mindset.

Professor Dweck explains why it's not just our abilities and talent that bring us success - but whether we approach our goals with a fixed or growth mindset. With the right mindset, we can motivate our children to raise their grades, as well as reaching our own goals - both personal and professional.

Mindset reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can foster learning and nurture the resilience that is the basis of accomplishment in every area.

This revised and updated edition includes new material on organizational mindsets and on opening yourself up to growth, and addresses common misconceptions about growth mindsets.

DR CAROL S. DWECK is widely regarded as one of the world's leading researchers in the fields of personality, social psychology and developmental psychology. Her work has been featured in such publications as the New Yorker , The Times and the Guardian .
