Best Selling Books by Carol Dweck

From the renowned psychologist who introduced the world to “growth mindset” comes this updated edition of the million-copy bestseller—featuring transformative insights into redefining success, building lifelong resilience, and supercharging self-improvement. “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 “It’s not always the people who start out the smartest who end up the smartest.” 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.

Aprenda como potenciar a autoestima, a motivação e a capacidade de concentração. Mais de 2 milhões de livros vendidos Existem dois tipos de atitudes mentais — e só uma leva ao sucesso Carol S. Dweck, especialista internacional em Sucesso e Motivação, desenvolveu ao longo da sua carreira uma ideia deveras inovadora — o poder do nosso mindset, a atitude mental com que abordamos a vida, influencia decisivamente o êxito pessoal e profissional. Existem dois tipos de atitudes mentais: a fixa e a progressiva. Quem tem a primeira acredita que o talento e as capacidades são definidos à partida e não se alteram ao longo da vida. Este é o caminho para a estagnação e a desmotivação. Por outro lado, quem tem atitude mental progressiva acredita que o talento pode ser desenvolvido, com tempo e persistência. Este é o caminho da oportunidade — e do sucesso. A autora mostra, de forma prática e simples, como é possível fomentar uma atitude mental progressiva em qualquer altura da vida, potenciando a autoestima, a motivação e a capacidade de concentração, e gerando resiliência e paixão pela aprendizagem — a base dos grandes feitos em todas as áreas. Os elogios da crítica: «Carol S. Dweck estuda a maneira como o modo de pensar a nossa relação com o talento influencia o que fazemos com ele e como o potenciamos. Um livro excelente.» Miguel Pina e Cunha, Professor na Nova School of Business and Economics «Carol descreve como aquilo de que acreditarmos ser capazes influencia de forma determinante os caminhos que escolhemos na vida.» Bill Gates
