About the author
Carol S. Dweck is an American psychologist whose research focuses on motivation, personality, development, and beliefs about ability. She has taught at several universities and became widely known for the distinction between fixed and growth mindsets.
Mindset presents that research for general readers through education, sport, relationships, and leadership. The practical difference is whether difficulty is treated as proof of a fixed identity or as information about strategy, effort, instruction, and learning.
Where to start
Start with Mindset for Dweck's general account of fixed and growth beliefs and their application beyond the laboratory.
