About this listen

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.

Dweck explains why it's not just our abilities and talent that bring us success but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn't foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment but may actually jeopardise success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades as well as reach our own goals - personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can create a love of learning and a resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area.

If you have heard about growth and fixed mindsets then this box is a must read.

This is a book that you need to listen to when you have an open mind and listen when you can give it a little bit of concentration.

If you are willing to engage with this book you are highly likely going to benefit from listening to it. Even if you think you know what growth and fixed mindsets are, still listen to this book.

O ne of two things will happen. The first, and in my humble estimation the most likely outcome is that you will realise you did not fully understand the two mindsets. The second, you are a rare and fortunate person who knew about the mindsets and didn't learn a thing. If that's the case I suspect you have a fixed mindset and genuinely believe you have a growth mindset.

Just for the record, I was in the latter category, outcome two, before I read the book. Fortunately for me I listened with an open mind and paid attention to what was said. I'm no longer in denial, now the hard work to change my mindset!!

Well worth a read...

Personally did not find the narrator’s voice easy to listen to. Some chapters dragged for me, particularly the ones on sport and business but likely due to them being outside of my scope of interest. Overall , the content is valuable and I’ve gained some useful advice to put into practice!

Tough going in some parts but worth persisting!

packed with anecdotes and stories about individuals but each chapter feels like a re-read of the last. also, I ran a book club at work to cover this topic but the chapters in the audiobooks and the printed version are numbered differently. can think why this would be a good idea.

Great concept but not a great book
