CHARLES CURRY, SMART AGENTS
The passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it, even (or especially) when it’s not going well, is the hallmark of the growth mindset. This is the mindset that allows people to thrive during some of the most challenging times in their lives.”
–Carol Dweck, from Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
Dr. Carol Dweck studies the science and psychology behind human motivation. As she describes it, her research “examines the self-conceptions (or mindsets) people use to structure the self and guide their behavior.” Through this work, Dweck has identified two main types of mindset that deeply affect our ability to succeed: the fixed mindset and the growth mindset.
