"People may start with different temperaments and different aptitudes, but it is clear that experience, training, and personal effort take them the rest of the way. “
I think if there's one criticism I have is that the structure is all over the place. She blows through a myriad of different examples sometimes with no clear direction or conclusion. Perhaps a summary at the end of each chapter or section would've done well to clear this up. As a scientific writer first and foremost, your point should not be muddled or buried.
If you’re in a pinch, I’d suggest reading the first chapter, and subsequent chapters as they pertain to you (if you’re an athlete, teacher, parent, coach, etc.), and then skipping to the last chapter and reading through till the end as she has helpful tips on how to implement it.
Regardless, the findings are absolutely invaluable, and implementing the growth mindset in everything I do has changed my life for the better. So for that, I'm forever grateful.
