I have heard a lot about growth mindset lately, so I thought I would go directly to the source to find out more. Growth vs. fixed mindset is being bandied about in education circles, and I wanted to make sure I have a firm grasp on the concept. After reading this book, I definitely feel a bit more knowledgeable about what a growth mindset is and how to develop it in myself as well as how to help others try to shift their view from fixed to growth mindset as well. I particularly enjoyed the chapters and examples that explored athletes and their mindsets as well as the chapter on CEOs. Since I am an educator, I would have enjoyed more examples of student feedback and of how to assist struggling students with developing a growth mindset, but luckily, there are several videos of Dweck speaking online that I plan to watch. I also plan to request the MindsetMaker Professional development course from my administration so that I can continue exploring. I do believe reframing how we think and how we view challenges is a very important component to achieving our goals and becoming happy with our accomplishments, so I would definitely suggest giving Mindset a read.
