6 key ideas, each explained in our own words.

Mindset

  1. IDEA 1

    Fixed versus growth

    A fixed mindset sees ability as static; a growth mindset sees it as developable through effort and strategy.

  2. IDEA 2

    Praise the process

    Praising effort and strategies builds resilience. Praising intelligence can make people avoid challenges.

  3. IDEA 3

    Failure as information

    In a growth mindset, setbacks show what to work on next rather than revealing limits.
