She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn’t foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment, but may actually jeopardize 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. Reviews "Highly recommended . . . an essential read for parents, teachers [and] coaches . . . as well as for those who would like to increase their own feelings of success and fulfillment.” —Library Journal “A serious, practical book. Dweck’s overall assertion that rigid thinking benefits no one, least of all yourself, and that a change of mind is always possible, is welcome.” —–Publishers Weekly “A good book is one whose advice you believe. A great book is one whose advice you follow. This is a book that can change your life.” —Robert J. Sternberg, author of Teaching for Successful Intelligence “A wonderfully elegant idea . . . It is a great book.” —Edward M. Hallowell, M.D., author of Delivered from Distraction
