Summary of Mindset by Carol Dweck

I really enjoyed reading this book. Even though I think the criticisms in the reviews here aren't without merit, generally, I think this book can help people to understand themselves and to improve their lives.

As mentioned in the criticisms, it does read like a self-help book; but I'm pretty sure it is meant to read this way. It's an easy read with a litany of research citations in the back. I'm interested in applying what I learned from this book at my school with my students and teachers. I do wish there had been more detailed information about the Brainology course created for middle school students, but I'm sure I can find more on it on the internet.

I certainly recommend this book.

I love it when authors manage to boil complicated concepts down to a simple (to express and understand) idea. This book is one of those works.
