Changed my view

It teaches me how to give praise and feedback in a way which inspires growth instead of just boosting self esteem. And, taking praise cautiously and being hungry for criticism. Great help in this world full of grades, valuation and points...

The importance our Mindset plays in our life - a great book.

The topic speaks for itself - eye-opening!
But half the illustrating stories would have been more than enough - and it would be an even better read.
I switched to reading it instead of listening to it. Its such a shame that the speaker sounds like she's telling a fairytale to small children which makes it extremely difficult to listen to and to concentrate on the subject.

It's not really a story

The book describes our behaviors as humans and how they can improve or destroy us. The book also backs this with several studies and behavioral anecdotes for different ages and areas of our lives.

A must read for parents and teachers

Many years ago, as I was in Highschool, a teacher tought me about the importance of growing. Not of being the best, not of comparing myself with others. But of being each day a bit better and relying on hard work and passion for what I did, instead of "native talent". In retrospect, this is one of the best peices of advice I ever received.

If you have children or if you are a teacher, do them a favor: read (or listen) to this book and internalize the content. Then try hard to put it into practice. The same applies if you're a manager, working close with your employees. Sooner or later, they will thank you for it, like I do now with my former teacher.

Eye opening

It was very interesting and truly helpful to analyze yourself and understand the different mindsets. A must read/listen

There's already positive change

I love this book. It's really helping me to better understand myself and others, to respect that and I am starting to have a growth mindset and realizing faster when I get into the fixed mindset. I look forward to see all the great things I can achieve now that I have this additional tool in my life.

What A Game Changer!

This is an extremely powerful and mindset changing concept.
Replacing your fixed mindset with a growth mindset enables you to easily see and accept your shortcomings without getting emotionally involved or attached to them.

You see your shortcomings for what they are. Temporary. They don't define you but are simply a representation of the amount of effort - or rather the lack thereof - you have put into fixing them thus far.

If you want to improve yourself, you can!
You are likely going to struggle to do so but precisely in going through that struggle and overcoming it is where that growth of yourself occurs and that growth is permanent. By going through that struggle you are now more than you were before, better than you were before, more capable than you were before.

Adapting a growth mindset is incredibly uplifting and empowering. It makes you realize how incredibly capable you are of helping yourself.

Repetitive

The basic principle presented (fixed vs. growth mindest) is good and it was somewhat a eye-opener to me, but after around 1 hour of listening the book gets very, very, very repetitive.
It is basically the same story over and over again in every chapter (person X has fixed mindset vs. person Y has growth mindset and both did this and that). The only thing that changes over the chapters are the areas where those people were in (e.g. one chapter is about students and one chapter is about businessman). After one hour of listening you basically have internalized the basic idea of the growth mindest.
Also there are no clear recommendations for action or similar detailed explanation why one could slip into the one or other mindset and how to get out of it.
On top of it it is read by a very monotonic reader, very exhausting to listen to.

I think about of returning it, if it is possible.

Can not recommend it.

repetitive Aneinanderreihung von Geschichten

anstatt inspirierende Handlungsweisen klar zu benennen, Grundlagen und Ursprünge eines fixed mindset zu identifizieren und Handlungsweisen zu benennen, um ein solches zu beheben, werden immer wieder die gleichen Geschichten in anderen Ausprägungen aneinandergereiht, vorgetragen von einer furchtbar monotonen Sprecherin mit einer schwer zu ertragen Stimme. Ich bin von diesem Buch sehr enttäuscht und kann es nicht empfehlen.
