Today, I’m sharing an audio summary of one of the most popular books of the last 20 years. First, it’s difficult to believe it came out nearly 17 years ago.

The book I’m talking about celebrates its 17th anniversary on February 28th. The book I’m talking about of, course, is Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol S. Dweck.

After decades of research, she discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset.

In her book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities.

People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment.

In this episode, I’m sharing an audio summary of Mindset, the audio version of the same written summary I share with my members inside the Read to Lead Community.
