Review
The audiobook Mindset by Dr. Carol Dweck has been in charge of popularizing the terms growth mindset and fixed mindset. Growth mindset is able to develop its skills through effort and consistency, while a fixed mindset is the one that is unwilling to grow, the belief that a person’s traits and characteristics cannot change.
As an example we have the students that after a confusing class of algebra say “I don’t understand algebra” or “It’s too difficult for me” while a growth mindset might say “This class was tough but I can master it if I study hard” or maybe “I need to review that class so I can understand it completely”.
This Audiobook presents a set of advice and tips in order not only to help you understand what mindset is, but also for you to be able to modify your behavior in order to improve your life through the tools that mindset offers you.
