Mindset: Changing The Way You Think To Fulfil Your Potential by psychologist Carol S. Dweck is a powerful exploration of how our beliefs about ourselves affect every part of our lives—from school and work to sports, relationships, and parenting. Dweck’s central insight is the distinction between two fundamental ways of thinking: the fixed mindset and the growth mindset.

People with a fixed mindset believe their abilities, intelligence, and talents are static traits that cannot change. As a result, they fear failure, avoid challenges, and often plateau early in life. In contrast, those with a growth mindset believe that their abilities can be developed through effort, learning, and persistence. This belief fosters resilience, encourages lifelong learning, and leads to higher achievement.
