About Carol Dweck:
“I am a Professor of Psychology at Stanford University and I have been studying why people succeed and fail for over 40 years.
I have been doing research for many years on why some people are go getter’s and jump in whereas others, just as talented or able, shy away from difficulty and end up not fulfilling their potential. After researching this for many years I came to the discovery of the mindsets as the cause of these differences. My students told me I had to write this book after benefiting from this knowledge and wanted others to know about it.” – Carol Dweck
