Now updated with new research — the book that has changed millions of lives. After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset — those who believe that abilities are fixed — are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset — those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment. In this edition, Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love — to transform their lives and your own.

De wereldberoemde psychologe Carol Dweck van Stanford University heeft, na tientallen jaren onderzoek naar prestatie en succes, een baanbrekend begrip ontdekt: de kracht van onze mindset. Dweck legt uit dat het niet alleen onze vaardigheden en talenten zijn die voor succes zorgen, maar ook onze statische of op groei gerichte mindset. Ze maakt duidelijk waarom het prijzen van de intelligentie en het talent van onze kinderen niet bevorderlijk is voor hun zelfvertrouwen en prestaties, maar hun succes zelfs in de weg kan staan. Met de juiste instelling kunnen we onze kinderen motiveren en hen helpen op school beter te presteren, en tegelijk op persoonlijk en professioneel vlak onze eigen doelen bereiken. Dweck onthult wat alle goede ouders, leerkrachten, topmanagers en sportlieden al weten en laat zien hoe een simpel idee over de werking van de hersenen, liefde voor leren en veerkracht kan creëren, die de basis vormen voor prestaties op elk terrein.
