Despite the fact that for me the Mindset is the key for almost everything (that is why I bought the book), I had the impression that once the concept of Mindset was explained, the book focused only on giving examples, some of them a bit exotic, to try to justify why having a good Mindset is important. It was difficult to find the added value of all the chapters as I strongly believe that the author could have had said the same with less words.
The book is not written as a story that can end with a conclusion so it is the same if one read only one chapter instead of the whole book. I never arrived to feel hooked and as soon as I finished it I bought "Extreme Ownership" and with only few pages of the introduction I have already the feeling of emotion and interest that I look in a book.

Product description
Review
An utterly compelling story of how the way we think shapes our success.Essential reading for anyone with aspirations. - Matthew Syed, author of Bounce and two-time Olympic athleteWill prove to be one of the most influential books ever about motivation. - Po Bronson, author of NurtureShockA good book is one whose advice you believe. A great book is one whose advice you follow. I have found Carol Dweck's work on mindsets invaluable in my own life, and even life-changing in my attitudes toward the challenges that, over the years, become more demanding rather than less. This is a book that can change your life, as its ideas have changed mine. - Robert J. Sternberg, IBM Professor of Education and Psychology at Yale UniversityIf you manage any people or if you are a parent (which is a form of managing people), drop everything and read Mindset. - Guy Kawasaki, author of The Art of the Start

How a simple concept can be a game changer
1 May 2020 -
Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
If I had to assemble 10 books to serve as the manual to create a superhuman, this book would be one of them. I wasn’t aware before that how the simple concept of fixed mindset vs growth mindset could explain a lot about someone’s character and behaviour. And how relatively straight forward it is to change them, for better and for worse. An absolute vital book to read.

A new way to look at the world and our part in it
1 June 2019 -
Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
I had seen this book referenced many times in times in the past, and only recently I decided to buy it and read it. And it has been one of the quickest reads ever!
This book is a true gem. It helps the reader undermine the victim mentality to the core, and provides with many examples of the difference that having a fixed mindset has compared to the journey implied in having a growth mindset.
We all are a mix of both mindset, and it is up to us to recognize and control where we are in our life, and what is the dominant mindset. This book gives concrete action steps to take to chip at the fixed mindset, and to install the growth mindset mentality which is what makes us improve in all we do in our lives.
Because age and skills don’t matter when the right mindset, the growth mindset, is allowed to make us flourish.
A must read, truly inspirational. And now it’s time to start the journey. Now.

usefull concepts but could be shorter

the growth mindset concept it is very usefull. the book makes a great job explaining it. It is one of those ideas that are extremely simple but really hard to fully understand.
On the other hand I think the author uses too many examples to the point it becomes repetitive and boring.

Repetitive
24 October 2020 -
Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
It sounds like a good premise but the book is repetitive and filled with too many examples. I had hoped for helpful information on HOW to change my mindset, not never-ending examples of people who do or do not have a flexible mindset. It's really a pretty useless book.
