I just finished Mindset by Carol Dweck. It is a book that has challenged me to change the way I parent, communicate with my spouse, approach my longterm goals, teach, read, and write. Dweck's main thesis is that you can choose a mindset that adopts growth and learning, or one that is fixed on traits and talents.
If you are struggling with change in some part of your life, I highly recommend it. It is not the same old you can do it motivation speech. Instead, she builds a case for changing your mind. Then, she outline practical everyday steps for living a life of learning.
Like my other recent reading, it comes back to the notion that beliefs change the way we behave. All things, we learn once again, are subject to change. That is the closest thing we have to hope.
