Ms. Mary K. Truesdale   PS#11AP  Group 3GB Summary of Chapters 1 and 2-mindset: The New Psychology of Success     by Carol Dweck Chapter 1: The Mindsets The opening chapter introduces the foundational concept behind the rest of the book, which is that  of two different mindsets.  A fixed mindset is one that accepts the idea of predetermined abilities, aptitudes, and talents that can only be proven or not. A growth mindset is one that believes that traits like these are not fixed, but can be cultivated, learned and changed.  These mindsets lead to behavior traits: fixed mindsets avoid new challenges and are quick to give up when they fail.  The growth mindset is persistent, tenacious, and views criticism constructively.   Chapter 2: Inside the MindsetsThe premise here is that both mindsets are choices people make, and those choices can affect every aspect of their lives. For instance, those with a fixed mindset tended to care only about learning whether they passed a test rather than whether or not they actually understood knowledge that could help with future growth. Failure is viewed by a fixed mindset as a definition how they are a failure as a person whereas those with a growth mindset are more likely to take failure at a specific task as a learning opportunity. This chapter also serves up a chilling warning about aptitude tests:when a person with a fixed mindset fails on a single test of ability, they very often view that failure as unchangeable for the rest of their lives, thus potentially missing out on great opportunities.
