I've had this book on the 'Need to Read' shelf for a few years until I finally read it for work. The overall concept, Fixed Mindset vs Growth Mindset, I absolutely agree with. I believe viewing, understanding, and performing daily tasks and other functions through life with a different viewpoint (or growth mindset) would be more beneficial than the regular/standard view of blaming everything else. I gave this book 3/5 stars because Dr. Carol Dweck could have written this book shorter. The examples were valid but it was long-winded at times, as well as extremely repetitive. Some repetitiveness is needed in order for the concept to sink in for the reader but I believe she took it a bit too far. I still recommend this book, especially for people striving to better themselves and looking for personal/professional development.
