Flexible consciousness Carol Dweck read. Carol Dweck - Flexible Mind

People with a fixed mindset (a fixed mindset) believe that innate intelligence and talent are unchangeable. They spend time trying to prove to everyone that they are smart and talented, instead of developing their talents. They also believe that talent alone leads to success. And they are wrong. People with a flexible mind (with a growth mindset) believe that all qualities can be developed by systematically working on oneself, and the initial level of intelligence and talent is just a starting point. This approach creates a love of continuous learning and resilience to difficulties and failures. There is hardly a single outstanding person who does not possess these qualities. The transition to an agile mindset enhances motivation and productivity in business, education and sports. It enriches personal relationships. When you read this book, you will find out how this happens.

Introduction

One fine day, students sat me down at the table and literally ordered me to write this book. They wanted other people to be able to take advantage of our discoveries and make their lives better. I've been meaning to put pen to paper for a long time, but only now has this work become my priority.

My book continues a tradition in psychology by exploring the idea of how internal beliefs influence a person. We may or may not be aware of our beliefs, but they have a huge impact on what we want and how successfully we achieve it. Changing beliefs, even simple ones, can have far-reaching consequences.

In this book you will learn how one simple thought - self-image - determines significant part your actions. Strictly speaking, this idea is associated every your step. Both how you see and evaluate yourself, and what prevents you from fully realizing your potential, is dictated by your internal attitude.

No book has yet talked about attitudes or shown how they can be used in life. Now you will suddenly understand the psychology of great people - great in science and art, in sports and in business - as well as those who showed great promise. You will understand your colleagues, your boss, your friends, your children. You will understand how to release the potential - both yours and your child's.

At the end of each chapter, as well as in the last part of the book, you will find specific recommendations on how to apply the acquired knowledge in practice: how to determine what attitude is guiding your life, and understand how it works and how it can be changed if desired.

My work is dedicated to the topic personal growth. She helped me accelerate my own development. I hope it helps you too.

Chapter 1. What types of settings are there?

When I was a young aspiring scientist, an event occurred that changed my entire life.

I was passionate about understanding how people cope with their failures. And I began to study this 1, observing how junior schoolchildren solve difficult problems. So, I invited the kids one at a time into a separate room, asked them to get comfortable, and when they were relaxed, I had them solve a series of puzzles. The first tasks were very simple, but then they became more and more difficult. And while the schoolchildren puffed and sweated, I watched their actions and reactions. I assumed that children would behave differently when trying to cope with difficulties, but I saw something completely unexpected.

Faced with more serious tasks, one ten-year-old boy pulled his chair closer to the table, rubbed his hands, licked his lips and declared: “I love difficult problems!” Another boy, having sweated considerably over the puzzle, raised his satisfied face and gravely concluded: “You know, that’s what I’m looking for.” hoped- what will be educational!”

“What’s wrong with them?” - I couldn’t understand. It never occurred to me that failure could cause someone like. Are these kids aliens? Or do they know something like that?

Each person has his own role model, someone who showed him the right path to crucial moment life. These children became a role model for me. Obviously, they knew something that was unknown to me, and I decided to figure it out: what is the essence of the attitude that can turn difficulties into a gift?

What did they know? Apparently, human abilities, such as intellectual skills, can be sharpened with effort. And that's exactly what they did - became smarter. Failure did not discourage them at all - It didn’t even occur to them that they were losing. They thought they were just studying.

I believed that abilities are given to a person once and for all. Either you are smart or you are not, and if you fail once, it means you are not smart. It's simple. As long as you manage to achieve success and avoid failure (at any cost), you remain one of the smart ones. Attempts, mistakes, efforts in this “game” do not count.
