My impressions: In Mindset, Carol Dweck took a simple idea that the reader has certainly heard before, explained it with an extensive catalogue of vignettes in a wide variety of settings, broke the idea down into components, with implications and ramifications, backed it up with research, and convinced me to take it seriously and internalize it. When it came time to suggest our next book for the All American Leadership Reading group, Rob Nielsen (the CEO) and I both proposed Mindset, and it was selected. It seemed that most in the room had read it. Why this book: I attended a workshop on high performance athleticism at the Naval Special Warfare Center and several of the coaches referred to this book and its ideas.
