What book are you reading right now?

I am currently reading Mindset by Dr Carol S Dweck.

It basically talks about two kinds of Mindset in people all around us.

• Fixed Mindset
• Growth Mindset

People with fixed Mindset only follow perfection and anything less than that is useless or meaningless to them. They believe that humans are born with  certain abilities, skills or talent and their entire life is defined by those abilities.

From their childhood they are afraid of failures and they always want to have an ultimate level of success. When they don’t get that, they pretend to have that ,so that the others don’t criticize them. Hence, they are very much afraid of criticism, making them unlearners.

While on the other hand, people with growth mindset don’t believe in perfection. They take failures as opportunities to learn more and they give more emphasis to knowledge, experience and growth . They don’t believe that one failure or two can define your entire lifetime and that’s why they are always striving for more.

Even if they get success they don’t stop and continue to learn more to add more skills in their arsenal. They are always hungry for knowledge, making them lifelong learners . This is the kind of mindset we should always have, no matter what our age is.

This is what I am getting from the book, still a long way to finish the book. I hope this post will inspire readers to read the book. Those who have already read it , I would like to know their thoughts on the book in the comments section
