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.

My biggest issue with this tittle is the narrator sounding very robotic, very tiring.
Also, so many examples of behaviours gets a bit boring.

Great message into how to adopt a growth mindset. however this was very repetitive and found it hard going. it does reinforce the message but could have been much shorter

The concept of a growth mindset is an important and valuable principle, and this is why I have rated it 4. But, in my opinion the book is way too long. A shorter and more concise book would have earned a 5.

I listened at 1.2x and was still bored by endless illustrative stories, many of which seemed a little unreal or contrived. There is also more anecdote than science in the approach.

If you want to be encouraged to grow and fulfil your potential then you should read/listen to this book, but be ready for the sheer length of elucitation of essentially a single concept. After the first chapter turn the speed up to 1.25.
