Mindset: The New Psychology of Success Audiobook

" after this book, you will understand much more about growth mindset and reach higher achievement. Many good examples, it's definitely a GOOD book! "

" At first I wasn't so sure whether I wanted to listen to this book, but I was looking for something to help me expand my view on things. By the end of the audiobook was looking for more. Entertaining and educational both. Well worth listening to. "

" Narration of this book is throughly displeasing, like her vice constantly punching you in the face. What too dramatic and jumpy. "

" This was a very good book. It includes a lot of useful information on the topic. "

" A great book to open the minds of the closed minded! "

" Had to read this for school professional development but I was pleasantly surprised. The writer could be redundant at times but most of what she said resonated with me. I recommend this for anyone who is "down on their luck" or needs a new, fresh perspective on life. "

" This was an interesting, self reflective read. I think everyone can have a fixed mindset in certain aspects of their life. I am eager to implement a growth mindset in more areas of my life and hopefully teach my children to do the same. "

" Summer read for work. Okay. "

" I finish this book in just 2 days. Very nice reading. Sceptical about the depth at first but then realize the beauty of its simplicity. "

" A little repetitive. I found myself reminding my husband everytime he said something that was a fixed mindset. I think he was a little annoyed. It also made me more careful to choose my words. "

" Dweck's work has been quoted in many books I've read over the past few years, so I had to read her book. I'm convinced that her idea about the importance of teaching kids a growth mindset & using growth mindset praise when working with kids is extremely valuable. "

" As some of the Amazon reviewers commented, this was a great article blown up into a book. The examples from different fields of endeavor felt like padding: same (very valid and interesting) point made over and over. I don't need to read about Jack Welch and Itzhak Perlman to get the idea. Also, for someone who's a professor at Stanford, the fact-checking was surprisingly sloppy: she says To Kill a Mockingbird centers around a murder trial, for example, and repeats some urban myths about the Columbine killers. It's well worth skimming, though, and she's sold me on the basic premise (go with a growth mindset versus fixed-ability mindset). "

" I liked the ideas included, but felt that it was repetitive and hard to get through at times. "

" Glad Natalie recommended I read this book. It put into words thoughts and impressions and knowledge that I had before reading it, and explained why I think a certain way. It also put some solid recommendations behind the knowledge, which I am already using. "

" This book explores the fixed and growth mindsets, with lots of examples and classroom-based studies. Lots of academic research here, but its interesting, no ponderous, and thought-provoking. "

" Great book! Very inspiring. "

" This was my first step in the path of positive psychology. It broke down barriers for me and helped me realize that happiness is waiting for us right behind our eyes. "

" This book changed my life. "

" The jury is out... It's not so much that I disagree with the premise (don't know yet) but the STYLE is so damn repetitive, it is difficult to wade through. We shall see. This is one of the worst books I have ever read; the woman cannot write. Book rejected. "

" This is a very interesting book, particularly for people who work with kids. It's nothing mind-blowing, but it does phrase things in a way that makes sense. "

" Carol Dweck is an incredible researcher who also knows how to translate her research into real-world impact. Love her work and love her book! "

" The concepts are really intriguing and useful and very applicable to life and relationships and raising kids, but the books itself is very repetitive and paints examples in very absolutist ways which I find less helpful. It's good to skim and get the info from. "

" Read this book. It changes everything. "

" Probably the most important book I've ever read. I don't normally recommend books, but I would recommend this to everyone. "

" This is one of those books that changes the way you view your world. I highly recommend it, especially for parents, teachers, or leaders! "

" I'll be writing a review someday (in mostlymaths.net) "
