Mindset: The New Psychology of Success Author: Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D. (Updated Edition)

Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by world-renowned psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., is a transformational guide to understanding how beliefs shape achievement and personal growth. With over two million copies in print and a glowing endorsement from Bill Gates, this updated edition revisits Dweck’s seminal research on motivation, personality, and development.

At the heart of her message is the distinction between two mindsets:

Fixed mindset: the belief that intelligence, talent, and ability are static and unchangeable

Growth mindset: the belief that these qualities can be developed through effort, learning, and resilience

Through compelling studies and relatable stories, Dweck shows how adopting a growth mindset leads to:

Greater achievement in education, athletics, and leadership

Resilience in the face of setbacks and criticism

Better relationships, parenting outcomes, and workplace collaboration

A lifelong love of learning and self-improvement

The book applies these insights across domains—school, sports, parenting, business, and personal growth—offering tools to shift limiting beliefs and empower change. Dweck explains how praise, feedback, and daily habits either reinforce growth or entrench limitation, guiding readers toward practices that nurture confidence, curiosity, and persistence.

The cover’s clean design, featuring a gradient bar and playful typography, mirrors the book’s optimism about human potential. Ideal for teachers, parents, entrepreneurs, and lifelong learners, Mindset continues to inspire a global movement to reframe success not as talent, but as tenacity.
