Mindset
Carol Dweck · 2026
🎙 Narrated by Bernadette Dunne
88/100
👍 Worth It
This is the real deal — Dweck's growth-vs-fixed-mindset research has shaped how a generation thinks about effort and achievement, and the updated edition smartly addresses the 'false growth mindset' trap people fall into. Bernadette Dunne's narration is clear, though several listeners flagged it as a bit monotone, so it's worth it for the ideas even if the delivery doesn't sparkle.
