Can Changing Your Mindset Change Your Life?

While it may not be a new concept to you, now’s a great time of year to revisit Carol Dweck’s book — Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. Published in 2006, it was updated in 2016 to address common misunderstandings and add new research. Dweck also responded to reader’s comments by providing more actionable advice in shifting from fixed to growth mindsets.

If you’re thinking, “Yes, I already read it and I’ve made big shifts to using a growth mindset through the last decade.” If that’s true, terrific! But you might want to skip down to Beware of a False Growth Mindset to make sure you aren’t missing out on some of Carol’s findings.

If you’ve not yet read the book, add it to your reading list!

With over 52,000 4+ ratings on Goodreads and Amazon, Dweck’s work on mindset has a large following. The Women Who Money Team believes deeply in learning and growth! Even if you’ve read this book once, you’ll likely take more from it to apply to recent experiences you’ve had if you read it again.

Chapters of the book include:

• The Mindsets
• Inside the Mindsets
• The Truth About Ability and Accomplishment
• Sports: The Mindset of a Champion
• Business: Mindset and Leadership
• Relationships: Mindsets in Love (or Not)
• Parents, Teachers, and Coaches: Where Do Mindsets Come From?
