Carol B. Dweck

Carol B. Dweck is a psychologist renowned for her research on motivation and personality. She developed the concept of "mindsets," particularly the distinction between a "fixed mindset" (believing abilities are innate and unchangeable) and a "growth mindset" (believing abilities can develop through effort and learning). Her work emphasizes that adopting a growth mindset encourages resilience, persistence, and a love of learning, leading to improved achievement and personal development. Dweck’s insights are widely applied in education, sports, and business to foster a positive approach to challenges and self-improvement.
