人為何會有差異？ 天賦異稟不是一種福賜，而是一場災難？ 在學校或職場努力證明自己，有什麼不對嗎？ 從小讚美孩子、培養優越感，可能使他們的發展受限？ 本書作者卡蘿．杜維克博士為史丹佛大學心理學教授、美國人文與科學院院士，在性格、社會心理學及發展心理學等領域，是全球最頂尖的研究學者之一。 你可能不知道，我們從小被培養的一些「正確」觀念，很可能是妨礙自己成長、真正發揮潛能的最大阻力。 杜維克博士經過長年對不同群體的研究，發現人有兩種心態：「定型心態」和「成長心態」。擁有「定型心態」的人，總是急於追求證明自我，將所有成果二分為成功或失敗。擁有「成長心態」的人，則是樂觀看待自己的所有特質，將個人的基本素質視為起點，可以藉由努力、累積經驗和他人的幫助而改變、成長。 來試試看，你擁有哪種心態。請問你比較同意下列哪一項？  ☐我們可以一直學習新事物、新技能，但智力是個人基本素質，無法有多大改變。 ☐不論你是哪種類型的人，總是能夠明顯改變。 杜維克博士的研究及論述深富影響力，廣受全球重要學術及大眾報章雜誌引用，包括《時代》雜誌、《O》雜誌、《紐約時報》、《華盛頓郵報》、《當代心理學》雜誌等。她的研究更影響比爾．蓋茲基金會團隊對個人心態和習慣的認知，幫助他們在推廣教育與學習上獲致重要突破，因此本書被蓋茲遴選為年度唯一推薦成功心理學書籍。 我們對自己或他人的簡單信念，實際上操縱了人生的很大部分，深切影響了許多事情的結果。閱讀本書，你將會突然了解，那些在商業、科學、藝術、運動等各領域的傑出人士，為何表現卓越、異於常人，以及那些原本能夠、但最後未能有傑出表現的人敗北的原因。 本書為應用心理學的經典暢銷著作，也是第一本探討人類心態的專著，在全球熱銷了180萬冊，改變世界人士對於成功與成功之道的理解。它能幫助你克服在學習、工作、教育／教養、人際／兩性關係上常見的自我囿限，打開你的成長心態，讓你更了解另一半、老闆、同事、親友、孩子，懂得真正釋放自己和他人的潛能。 ✻關於小測驗： ☐我們可以一直學習新事物、新技能，但智力是個人基本素質，無法有多大改變。（定型心態）...
