The book I read was: Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck.
1.) The general theme of this book was about embracing challenges and growing as an individual. Carol Dweck goes further and explains how to develop and achieve a growth mindset rather than a fixed mindset. Then shows all the benefits from it, proving that it is critical for a growth mindset.
2.) Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck has enhanced my learning for ENT 3003 by explaining and going in further of the thinking out of the box with a growth mindset. I feel this class is very close to since we have to always think outside the box for an idea and still come to dead ends to figure out the solution. By this, we are continually using our growth mindset in this course.
3.) After reading this book, I would design something straight from the final chapter of the book, where Carol Dweck does a workshop that teaches people to shift from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.
4.) In this book, I didn’t have an ‘aha’ moment. I found a few facts surprising it but nothing too crazy or exciting.
Hey Cameron, I read this book for my second reflection and really loved the book. I love books that force you to look twice to yourself and try to improve yourself as a person. I do love the workshop idea she had at the end of her book. I have read my share of books that tell you what you need to change to be successful but loved that this one also included some exercises.
ReplyDeleteHi Cameron! I also read this book so it was really interesting to see it from your perspective. Personally, I had a lot of thoughtful moments from the book like the part about children solving puzzles and seeing obstacles and difficulties as learning opportunities rather than failures. It made me think about what changes as people grow older. I guessed that our education system forced us to focus on getting questions right on a test rather than actually learning and processing information.
