mindset

As hint from an interview in "The New Scientist" I am reading a great book on Mindsets by Stanford psychologist C. Dweck. The book explains how we can have two forms of mindsets: a static mindset and a growing mindset. The static mindset deals with difficulties and frustrations by avoiding them, whereas the growing mindset sees difficulties as challenges and chances for development and growth. The book mainly deals with achievements of kids, but also with other personalities from sports, science and business, and It's great to learn how effort was rewarded in many paths of lifes.
