Gestão da Singularidade, Eduardo Carmello

Um bom livro. Abaixo uma mudança de mindset muito interessante.


The Right Mindset

Research has shown that the mindset that people have about their own abilities and more specifically where those abilities come from has a significant impact on how people learn and grow. Dr. Carol Dweck, and professor and researcher of social and developmental psychology, described this in terms of two different mindsets. With a  xed mindset, people believe that their talents and abilities are innate, fixed traits - either they are naturally good at something or they aren’t, and that state is seen as immutable. In a growth mindset, talents and abilities are seen as things that can be learned and improved with effort and practice. These mindsets can impact how peo‐ ple work, how they approach challenges, and how they deal with failure.
