Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol S. Dweck
was handed out at the principal's meeting. It was very repetitive, but a good quick read.
Most of the book was common sense, but the examples of famous people of a fixed mindset and ones of a growth mindset were interesting.
Very important work. You may well recognize yourself and people you care about in this book, and find yourself seeing self and others from a new perspective.
I think this book is particularly important for anyone parenting or working with children, as this book provides practical advice on how to help children develop a "growth mindset", which equips children to become resilient and self-motivated.
I highly recommend.
