Download or read book Mindset written by Carol S. Dweck and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2007-12-26 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the renowned psychologist who introduced the world to “growth mindset” comes this updated edition of the million-copy bestseller—featuring transformative insights into redefining success, building lifelong resilience, and supercharging self-improvement. “Through clever research studies and engaging writing, Dweck illuminates how our beliefs about our capabilities exert tremendous influence on how we learn and which paths we take in life.”—Bill Gates, GatesNotes “It’s not always the people who start out the smartest who end up the smartest.” After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment. In this edition, Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love—to transform their lives and your own.
Download or read book Human Motivation written by David C. McClelland and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1988-01-29 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human Motivation, originally published in 1987, offers a broad overview of theory and research from the perspective of a distinguished psychologist whose creative empirical studies of human motives span forty years. David McClelland describes methods for measuring motives, the development of motives out of natural incentives and the relationship of motives to emotions, to values and to performance under a variety of conditions. He examines four major motive systems - achievement, power, affiliation and avoidance - reviewing and evaluating research on how these motive systems affect behaviour. Scientific understanding of motives and their interaction, he argues, contributes to understanding of such diverse and important phenomena as the rise and fall of civilisations, the underlying causes of war, the rate of economic development, the nature of leadership, the reasons for authoritarian or democratic governing styles, the determinants of success in management and the factors responsible for health and illness. Students and instructors alike will find this book an exciting and readable presentation of the psychology of human motivation.
Download or read book Great Minds Are Great Achievers written by Lawrence Osifo and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-22 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GREATNESS MINDSETGreat minds are great achievers. Generation now and the next should be strongly imparted and inspired with this idea by everyone who has the authority to influence them. It is the duty of every teacher to transfer such knowledge into every student taught by them. Every leader is a teacher and for any leader to end up successfully; he or she must have a great mindset or idea which has been taught or passed on to a successor. Therefore; I have this idea that "Great minds are great Achievers" to teach or to impart into the mindset of this and coming generation. It will be a laudable and an effective solution to the present world unrest if every parent; every political leader; every religious leader and every academic leader; would counsel, proclaim, preach and teach this idea; that "Great Minds are Great Achievers"; to their children, their constituencies; their congregations and their schools. If fifty percent of the people living on earth are able to have this mindset that; "Great Minds are Great Achievers"; the victory over evil will be easily achieved without the use of weapons of war. Imparting this idea into the conscience of mankind stands out as the greatest legacy we can bequeath to the next generation as well as the best service we can give to God. The amazing phenomenon of this wonderful idea; of "Great Minds are Great Achievers"; is that those who have great mindset are ever willing to impart the inspiration into others. As a Civil Engineering graduate; but employed to teach mathematics in secondary school; I tried to be practical in my teaching method so that my students would understand and become great and outstanding persons in the future. Therefore, I was always giving or citing instances and issues of life where mathematics could be practically applied. It was in the process I got the idea to write this book.Great mindset has undergone a kind of evolution from the mean state of human lifestyle to a higher state of mental freedom for effective living. Great minds are like very sensitive antenna of radio receiver. Great minds have highly sensitive perception of the spiritual information. Great minds are able to catch revelations from the realm of the spirits to create wealth and to live freely from fears and anxieties.Great minds have the Christ-like hearts that think only of greatness or of things beyond the earth realm. They are minds that dwell in Great ideas. I believe that you would want to be in greatness. The 'How to have a Great mind'; has Desire as the ultimate step; whether it is taken first or lastly. This desire can be called FAITH. The makeup of great desires includes ambitious attitude, bold beliefs, contented commitment, disciplined diligence, and dutiful determination. There are three steps into greatness; that could be called three categories of greatness. 1.Born into greatness 2.Bestowed with greatness 3.Believed or achieved greatness. MEAN MEN ACT FOOLISHLYMean men are full of suspicions. They do not forgive, and they do not give. 1Samuel 25:10, 25; records it that Nabal answered David's servant, "who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants these days that break away from their masters." But Nabal's wife; said to David; "Let not my Lord, I pray regard this man of Belial, even Nabal; for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I your handmaid saw not the young men that my Lord did sent." When you are sitting with mean men in their parlor, they feel uncomfortable. When they make their offers they do so with shaking hands and doubtful spirits. They fear to give for two reasons; One; that the little they have will be exhausted. Two; Ashamed and doubtful; that the little they offer might be unacceptable.

Download or read book The Scout Mindset written by Julia Galef and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "...an engaging and enlightening account from which we all can benefit."—The Wall Street Journal A better way to combat knee-jerk biases and make smarter decisions, from Julia Galef, the acclaimed expert on rational decision-making. When it comes to what we believe, humans see what they want to see. In other words, we have what Julia Galef calls a "soldier" mindset. From tribalism and wishful thinking, to rationalizing in our personal lives and everything in between, we are driven to defend the ideas we most want to believe—and shoot down those we don't. But if we want to get things right more often, argues Galef, we should train ourselves to have a "scout" mindset. Unlike the soldier, a scout's goal isn't to defend one side over the other. It's to go out, survey the territory, and come back with as accurate a map as possible. Regardless of what they hope to be the case, above all, the scout wants to know what's actually true. In The Scout Mindset, Galef shows that what makes scouts better at getting things right isn't that they're smarter or more knowledgeable than everyone else. It's a handful of emotional skills, habits, and ways of looking at the world—which anyone can learn. With fascinating examples ranging from how to survive being stranded in the middle of the ocean, to how Jeff Bezos avoids overconfidence, to how superforecasters outperform CIA operatives, to Reddit threads and modern partisan politics, Galef explores why our brains deceive us and what we can do to change the way we think.

Book excerpt: In a tech-dominated world, the most needed degrees are the most surprising: the liberal arts Did you take the right classes in college? Will your major help you get the right job offers? For more than a decade, the national spotlight has focused on science and engineering as the only reliable choice for finding a successful post-grad career. Our destinies have been reduced to a caricature: learn to write computer code or end up behind a counter, pouring coffee. Quietly, though, a different path to success has been taking shape. In YOU CAN DO ANYTHING, George Anders explains the remarkable power of a liberal arts education - and the ways it can open the door to thousands of cutting-edge jobs every week. The key insight: curiosity, creativity, and empathy aren't unruly traits that must be reined in. You can be yourself, as an English major, and thrive in sales. You can segue from anthropology into the booming new field of user research; from classics into management consulting, and from philosophy into high-stakes investing. At any stage of your career, you can bring a humanist's grace to our rapidly evolving high-tech future. And if you know how to attack the job market, your opportunities will be vast. In this book, you will learn why resume-writing is fading in importance and why "telling your story" is taking its place. You will learn how to create jobs that don't exist yet, and to translate your campus achievements into a new style of expression that will make employers' eyes light up. You will discover why people who start in eccentric first jobs - and then make their own luck - so often race ahead of peers whose post-college hunt focuses only on security and starting pay. You will be ready for anything.
