1.1 The Two Mindsets
There are two main mindsets we can navigate life with: growth and fixed.

B. The Growth Mindset
The passion for stretching ourselves and sticking to it, even (or especially) when it’s not going well, is the hallmark of the growth mindset. This is the mindset that allows people to thrive during some of the most challenging times in their lives.
In short, having a growth mindset is essential for success. The growth mindset creates a powerful passion for learning.

Fixed Mindset In Detail
Intelligence is static. Leads to a desire, to look smart and therefore a tendency to...
- Challenges: avoid challenges
- Obstacles: give up easily
- Effort: see effort as fruitless or worse
- Criticism: ignore useful negative feedback
- Success of Others: feel threatened by the success of others
As a result, they may plateau early and achieve less than their full potential.
All this confirms as deterministic view of the world.

- Effort: see effort as the path to mastery
- Criticism: learn from criticism
- Success of Others: find lessons and inspiration in the success of others
As a result, they reach ever-higher levels of achievement.
All this gives them a greater sense of will.
