Inspirational thinking(Rating: 5)
With little to go on aside from a recommendation that Carol Dweck was sound in her approach I ordered this book. It's one of those where it all makes such good sense that you want to rush out and tell everyone you know to read it; especuially anyone with children or youngsters around. Her messages are simple, but so well argued that you can't take a cynical or negative view of its contents.

Growth Mindset(Rating: 5)
This is an informative and straightforward explanation of the 'Growth' mindset. A very accessible read and an insightful analysis of how we might support the development of gifts and talents in ourselves and in others. Dweck has developed a vast body of research-based evidence over many years and this book brings her academic work to the wider world in a clear, engaging and practical format. If you're an educator, business leader or simply an individual wanting to realise your or others' potential, this book is a helpful start-point for you to adjust your thinking (mindset) so that you make the most of every opportunity that comes your way, and maybe create some opportunities of your own.

Really informative(Rating: 5)
A very simple message on how you approach things and the massive effect it has on you. At times the book isn't written as fluidly as possible but the message is a great one. Have already passed it on to friends and colleagues.

It's all about beliefs(Rating: 5)
Excellent book for all interested audiences. As a coach we learn about how the past affects the present and this provides clearly elucidated evidence that this is true. It helps me to better inform how I support and enable people in the future. So it is very important for me and I imagine for all REAL coaches and mentors.

A good main point(Rating: 3)
A good main point is clearly expressed. But it does use the same point over and over again, and the research to back it up is vague. However; worth a visit.
