Join us for a discussion of Carol Dweck's book Mindset. Dweck's research focuses on why people succeed and how to foster success. Her book discusses the idea of a "fixed mindset" versus a "growth mindset" and how to utilize these concepts to motivate children and reach our own potential. The concepts discussed dovetail well with WW's year-long grit focus. Clic HERE to listen to Dwecn's TED talk as she offers an explanation of her mindset theory.
