About this listen

World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success, has discovered a truly groundbreaking idea - the power of our mindset.

Dweck explains why it's not just our abilities and talent that bring us success but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn't foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment but may actually jeopardise success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades as well as reach our own goals - personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can create a love of learning and a resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area.

Narrator sounds robotic

The content is great, the narration... not great. I persevered as Dweck is onto something with the growth mindset idea. Please have someone else ‘perform’ this audiobook.

Great idea, doesn’t translate outside USA

Great topic and idea but I don’t live in the USA and I’m not that into sports. Most (almost all) of the reference examples were sporting examples (baseball, basketball etc). I feel these examples were too simplified and I found myself tuning out every time another sporting example was used. I would love to see more corporate examples :-)

Great content, listen at 1.1x speed

Insights into how to build a growth mindset and identify fixed mindsets, and be able to help them change was great!

I had to listen at 1.1x speed to make it sound less robotic which did the trick

A Must Read

Everyone should have a copy. Fantastic content although could be more succinct. And the narration sounded a bit robotic which was not ideal but the value of this book far outweighed that.

Great content, awful audio

Content and chapters within the book were great. The concept of a growth mindset was well explained with empirical evidence and simple applications.
unfortunately it took so long to listen to this book because of the robotic voice - it was very distracting and frustrating.
