Mindset
by Carol S. Dweck
Three key ideas
- A growth mindset treats abilities as able to develop through practice, strategies, feedback, and support.
- A fixed reaction treats a result as a permanent personal label. Notice what triggers it.
- You can react with growth in one area and with a fixed view in another.
The five 2-minute lessons
- 1.Ability can grow
- 2.Catch the fixed moment
- 3.Change the process, not just the push
- 4.Say what helped, then what's next
- 5.Challenge with the real conditions
