Mindset: The New Psychology of Success

It's one thing to tell people their brains are like muscles. But the author pumps up that analogy until it explodes. Michael Jordan had to practice really really hard before he became a great basketball player. OK. But if he were 5 feet tall, it would not matter how hard he practiced; he would never have been an NBA MVP superstar. Yet the author writes "Can anyone do anything? I don't really know." Seriously!? That is literally farcical.
This book has glowing reviews from reputable sources and positions the author as "one of the world's leading researchers" in psychology. So I'm holding it to a high standard. The author mentions Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and claims that "Mindsets go further." CBT is supported by numerous clinical trials. Where is there similarly rigorous evidence for a benefit from Mindsets? I could not find it in the book.
I think there are better books covering the same area.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Techniques for Retraining Your Brain
