Reading this book Mindset by Carol S Dweck, Ph.D. About developing a “growth” mindset instead of fixed. Points out all sorts of research and trials and stuff about how you need to have a flexible mindset and not stay rock-like in your beliefs. Not real new information, but it does have me questioning some of the things that I assume I’m flexible or “growth-oriented” about.
