Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
New Mindset, New Results
Kerry Johnson MBA PhD · 2019
🎙 Narrated by Kerry Johnson (the author narrates, per retailer credits)
56/100
👎 Skip It
Penny here — Kirkus called this 'mind-expanding' and Kerry Johnson has a long publishing track record, but a detailed critical review flagged real problems with how the book applies established research like Dweck's Growth Mindset work and the concept of Flow, and that's a genuine accuracy concern I can't wave away. It does include usable behavioral-contract worksheets, but between the mixed reception and how saturated this category already is, I'd call it skippable.
