The Power of 'Mindset'

I read a great book on holiday which is one of those that comes along every 10 years and challenges your thinking.

'Mindset' by Carol S Dweck is a game changing book.

Mindsets are the views people have of themselves which they can change.

The fixed mindset is people wanting to prove themselves over and over again. They believe their qualities are carved in stone and cannot change. Everything is somebody else's fault not theirs, therefore they stay the same and unfulfilled.

Growth mindset people believe they can cultivate their basic qualities through application and hard work. They enjoy challenges, relish learning, recover from setbacks and grow as people. Simple but very powerful stuff.

Get the book, have a read and change your life.

Good luck!
