“Through clever research studies and engaging writing, Dweck illuminates how our beliefs about our capabilities exert tremendous influence on how we learn and which paths we take in life.”
— Bill Gates, GatesNotes

Decades of research led Stanford psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., to a groundbreaking discovery: mindset matters. In this transformative book, she reveals how our beliefs about intelligence and ability shape our potential for success—whether in school, work, sports, or personal growth. Those with a fixed mindset see abilities as static, while those with a growth mindset believe in their capacity to develop and improve—leading to greater achievement and fulfillment.

This updated edition includes new insights on the widespread adoption of growth mindset, the dangers of false growth mindset, and how mindset principles can be applied beyond individuals—to teams, organizations, and entire cultures. With the right mindset, you can inspire those around you, foster excellence, and transform not just your own life, but the lives of others.
