I read about Carol Dweck's mindset research briefly in a developmental psychology class earlier this year, and was pleased to find she had written a book in plain English (no scientific jargon) on the subject. It's been about two months since I've read Mindset - I really loved what she had to say, and have been trying to adopt more of a growth mindset since then, although I often fall back into my habitual fixed mindset. It's not discouraging, though, because I now realise that I'm 'learning' to use a growth mindset, and that mistakes along the way are just that - mis takes. |
