mindset book

The book mindset goes into great detail about the psychology of being successful. Carol S. Dewack says there are mindsets that people have such as: a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. Furthermore, people with a fixed mindset believe they cannot improve their skills or abilities. They think that whatever skills they are born with are the same skills they will have their entire life. For these people challenges are viewed negatively because they think they can't improve them. On the other hand, people with a growth mindset believe the opposite. They think that the abilities they are born with can be enhanced over time. They can always improve everything and this is a positive way to look on life.
