MINDSET (Paperback)

Carol S. Dweck's research separates a fixed view of ability from a growth view, and Mindset sets out what follows from each. Drawing on decades of psychological study, the book traces how beliefs about whether ability can change affect the way people respond to difficulty, criticism and outright failure. Chapters apply the idea across schooling, sport, business leadership and personal relationships, using case material rather than abstraction. The Constable & Robinson paperback runs to 288 pages; the framework is widely cited in education, though anyone facing a clinical or psychological difficulty should consult a qualified professional rather than rely on a book. What the research covers: • The distinction between fixed and growth views of ability • Applications across classrooms, sport, business and relationships • Case material drawn from psychological research • A 288-page paperback from Constable & Robinson Teachers, coaches, parents and managers will find this Constable & Robinson edition at Boipoka.
