Within the pages of Mindset, author Carol S. Dweck explains what we intuitively understand: Your mindset affects how you see everything in life and how you act (and react) in all situations.
The fixed mindset believes that skills and abilities are set at birth and dominican republic mobile phone number cannot change—thoughts such as “I’m hopeless at math” or “I’m just not good at networking” are common among those with fixed mindsets.
