's review

it was ok
bookshelves: non-fiction, self-help, health, education

This book mentions two types of mindsets: the fixed mindset and the growth mindset.

Fixed mindset individuals believe abilities are innate and cannot be changed.

Growth mindset individuals believe abilities can be developed through hard work and dedication.

The book provides too many examples of how a growth mindset can lead to success in areas like education, sports, business, and relationships.

It discusses the benefits of embracing challenges, learning from failures, and seeking feedback to foster a growth mindset.

In my personal opinion, this book is boring and monotonous.

Left Coast Justin Maybe it would have been better as a booklet -- 30 or 40 succinct pages instead of 250 bloated, repetitive ones.
