The book is recommended at my workplace. In the book, the author has tried to describe two opposite mindsets namely fixed mindset and growth mindset. People with fixed mindset believe that talent and capabilities are fixed. On the other hand, people with growth mindset believe that you can always improve by hard work and effort. The author first introduces the concepts of fixed mindset and growth mindset. Then she explains those mindsets, and the behaviors affected by the mindsets. She then explains the impact of the mindsets in the areas of sports, business, relationship, parenting and coaching. She has used a lot of examples from her own life, and from lives of important people to explain her points.
The author does a good job in explaining the merits of growth mindset and demerits of fixed mindset. The very concept of growth mindset is introduced in the book. Being aware of both the mindsets and developing growth mindset will help us in our real lives.
But the author has gone in over selling mode and has described growth mindset as the panacea of all problems in the world. Often her narratives become repetitive. She has touched the negative impact of growth mindset occasionally. Also, she has undervalued the role of talent.
