  1. 1. Mindset

    The New Psychology of Success

    This book explores the powerful concept of mindset, presenting the idea that the way individuals think about their abilities and potential fundamentally influences their success. It distinguishes between two types of mindsets: the fixed mindset, which assumes that our character, intelligence, and creative ability are static givens which we can't change in any meaningful way, and the growth mindset, which thrives on challenge and sees failure not as evidence of unintelligence but as a heartening springboard for growth and for stretching our existing abilities. Through analysis and real-life examples, the book demonstrates how the mindset we adopt not only profoundly affects our personal achievement but also has the potential to impact all areas of our lives, suggesting that by changing our mindset, we can significantly alter our life course.

  2. 2. Гибкое сознание. Новый взгляд на психологию развития взрослых и детей

    The New Psychology of Success

    Излагает идею двух типов мышления — фиксированного, при котором способности воспринимаются как врождённые и неизменные, и развивающегося, предполагающего возможность роста через усилия и обучение — и показывает, как эти установки влияют на мотивацию, обучение, риск ошибок и достижение целей. Приводя исследования и примеры из школы, спорта и бизнеса, текст объясняет, как похвала, воспитание и образовательные практики могут поддерживать гибкое мышление и даёт практические рекомендации для родителей, учителей и взрослых по развитию настойчивости, любви к учёбе и раскрытию потенциала.
