Six stars. Once in a great while I'll read a book that's just...right. This is one of them.
Ahah -- this is what I was looking for and didn't find in _Mindset_. Concise, lots of pointers to other interesting research.TOC:What promotes adaptive motivation? Four beliefs and four truths about ability, success, praise, and confidenceWhen failure undermines and when failure motivates: Helpless and Mastery-oriented responsesAchievement Goals: Looking smart versus learningIs intelligence fixed or changeable? Students' theories about their intelligence foster their achievement goalsTheories of...
I did more research into Carol Dweck’s work, and even though I already knew the data… It was fun to revise it. Ok…I sometimes still praise my students’ intelligence, hm…bad move…Reading is not enough I must also apply…wink…wink… I loved this book because it told me why I remained behind in my science courses during middle school. Hm…“Girls' traditional lag in achievement has most often been attributed to other factors. One, as I mentioned, is society's stereotype of females as less competent, an...
Short chapters of Dweck's research on Growth Mindset.
An excellent argument of great social value, proven in exhausting detail and repeated ad nauseam.
I learned that I see the world as an 'entity theorist'. That means that I think that intelligence is fixed and cannot change no matter how hard you work. The authors explain that raising children to be 'entity theorists' by praising their intelligence and other qualities they have no control over is a great disservice to them. They'll try to hide their inadequacies rather than work harder to master problems. It also has good arguments to make you change your mind about the limits of your own int...
This book has changed my life.
While I found Dweck's theories very interesting, I felt as if the book was very repetitive and biased. I understand that Dweck believes in incrementalist theory and a growth mindset, but I found some of her views on the entity theorists to be a bit harsh and judgmental. I would have preferred a more unbiased, empirical approach.
This book is an excellent collection of briefs on Carol Dweck's lifetime of research. It is a bit more of a difficult read than Mindset but is for a more specific audience. The book does an excellent job of answering some of the deeper questions about growth and fixed mindsets and teases out many of the "yeah buts". The book does an excellent job of supporting arguments with extensive citations of additional research and even has a section which puts Mindsets within the context of psychological
I have been read this book but i read Bahasa version 😲
This book is not a self-help book. It is tedious to read, repetitive, repetitive, repetitive...BUTIt argues something of great importance - that the self-theories each of us has constructed (consciously or unconsciously) regarding our intelligence, social savviness, personality etc. initiate and control the thought patterns that can either go into fortitude or learned helplessness along the way of personal development and maturing. To illustrate this, the author is slowly approaching (starting o...
Similar to Dweck's book Mindset. This the academic version that really lays out the research that is behind Mindset. I preferred it over Mindset.
Everything is open in my mind to develop my skill and personality. Best improvement, love it.
This book show as that you can turn 3 chapters into 19, if you repeat the exact same thought enough times and word it differently.
Dweck's research is methodical and illuminating. Her book, Mindset, is a good, layperson's summary. This book walks through her studies in more detail and lays out what they've learned over the decades. At times it feels quite tedious, but the findings have important implications for educators.Basically, she argues that we all have beliefs that lead to our personal "theory of intelligence". That theory informs the kinds of goals we have (learning or performance), concerns, response to failure, t...
If you are a teacher you should read this book . The experimental evidence in this book makes you understand how important it is as a teacher to communicate and model the idea that 'intelligence' is something you can learn and that challenges and failures are the path to success and indeed happiness.
Really a nice way to present a series of psychology experiments around how performance interacts with identity/expectations.I originally picked this up as a "meatier version" of the trendy-last-year "mindsets."I'm generally skeptical of popular neuroscience, and psychology books; this was well worth reading.
By reacting with positive energy, our character will guide us towards constructive thoughts, such as: “What have I learnt from this situation?”. It’s an attitude that leads us to ask introspective questions, an approach to change as a fundamental element in personal growth.Inspiring book!
In diesem Buch beschreibt Frau Dweck anhand von zahlreichen Geschichten und Anekdoten die beiden Selbstbilder und ihre Auswirkung auf das Leben und Verhalten. Das ganze liest sich sehr angenehm und man kann eigentlich regelmäßig Nicken, denn: so ist es. Im Grunde macht sie "Werbung" für das dynamische Selbstbild... ;-)Die Geschichten sind nachvollziehbar und verständlich, und decken viele Lebensbereiche ab (inklusive Beziehungen); die Hauptkonzentration liegt aber auf Sport und Lehre (Lernen bei...
This is the academic version of Dweck's popular _Mindset_; it provides the information and citations on the research, as well as more detailed descriptions of some of her studies.Essentially, so far, it could be seen as repetitive, if one wasn't entranced? enthralled by the the academic details. Finally, I did skip ahead to the last chapter, where she does address the relationship of her theories with others (in particular for me, I was interested in how it related to Seligman's theories that ar...
