Since you mention mindset, here are Derek's notes on the book : https://sivers.org/book/Mindset https://sivers.org/book/Mindset The central idea of the book is revealed in it's description on Amazon : Dweck shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we approach our goals. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are far less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed through hard work, good strategies, and mentorship. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment. And then Derek's detailed notes will help me understand the sub-ideas presented by the author as well as any relevant and interesting examples.
