Growth Mindset for Sustainable Success

Let’s take a step away from the current machine learning and AI frenzy to understand human learning through the mindset lens.

Carol Dweck is a professor of psychology at Stanford University and the author of?Mindset, a classic work on motivation and "growth mindset." She is a pioneering researcher in the field of motivation, why people succeed (or don't) and how to foster success. Her work is influential among educators and business leaders.

As Carol Dweck describes it: "My work bridges developmental psychology, social psychology, and personality psychology, and examines the self-conceptions (or mindsets) people use to structure the self and guide their behavior. My research looks at the origins of these mindsets, their role in motivation and self-regulation, and their impact on achievement and interpersonal processes."
