Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The More Mindset
Diana Pagano · 2026
65/100
👎 Skip It
The neuroplasticity angle gives The More Mindset a bit more grounding than the average motivational book, and the USA Today bestseller signal confirms broad reader appeal. That said, the field is crowded and the dossier shows limited independent critical review — it is hard to say how much genuine new ground this covers for readers already versed in growth mindset literature. Worth it for those new to the space; seasoned personal-development readers may find familiar territory.
