Carol Dweck's 'Self-Theories' investigates the profound impact of individuals' beliefs about their own abilities on their motivation and success.
The book introduces the concepts of fixed and growth mindsets, illustrating how these beliefs shape responses to challenges.
A fixed mindset assumes that abilities are innate and unchangeable, leading to fragile confidence and fear of failure.
In contrast, a growth mindset embraces the belief that abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work, fostering resilience and perseverance.
Dweck emphasizes the importance of praising effort and strategies over innate talent to cultivate a growth mindset.
By understanding and changing their self-theories, individuals can unlock their potential and achieve greater fulfillment.
