Carol Dweck (Growth Mindset)

Carol Dweck, a psychologist, introduced the concept of a "growth mindset," which is the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through effort, learning, and persistence. In contrast, a "fixed mindset" views abilities as static and unchangeable. People with a growth mindset embrace challenges, learn from feedback, and see failures as opportunities for growth. This perspective encourages resilience and a love for learning, ultimately leading to greater success and fulfillment in various aspects of life, including education, work, and personal development. Adopting a growth mindset can empower individuals to reach their potential and overcome obstacles.
