Carol Dweck - Growth Mindset TED talk
Follow this link to Carol Dweck's talk on Growth Mindset, filmed in November 2014
Carol Dweck researches “growth mindset” — the idea that we can grow our brain's capacity to learn and to solve problems. In this talk, she describes two ways to think about a problem that’s slightly too hard for you to solve. Are you not smart enough to solve it … or have you just not solved it yet? A great introduction to this influential field.'
