Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
1.)Theme: The type of mindset one has greatly impacts their ability to succeed. One could even learn how to switch between mindsets in order to broaden their span of ideas because your mindset truly affects every day life.
2.)This class really emphasizes having the ability to identify and expand on opportunities. This book relates to that by discussing how having the right mindset will allow you to increase your chance of finding the right opportunity and ultimately allowing you to succeed. It talks about how you can have various mindsets and utilize them to identify opportunities.
3.) In this class specifically, I would have students perform a self-evaluation to identify their current mindset. Then ask them based on the results of that evaluation, how they think their mindset has affected their business idea(s) and if they would do anything differently. I would ask how they think they should improve their mindset and have the make a plan to put their mind where they want it to be.
4.) It really surprised me how much your mindset can have an affect on your every day life. It is something so obvious yet so overlooked. I think it's crazy that people can easily change their mindsets and the outcome could be so much different just based on the attitude they have and the way they approach things.
Hey Kristen,
ReplyDeleteYou read an interesting book. It is interesting how you said having the right mindset will allow you to increase your chance of finding the right opportunity. I picture this as someone is applying for jobs, right out of college, and continually has been rejected. It is often easy to be discouraged. However, with a change of mindset could mean altering the resume more, applying for jobs you may not have thought of etc. and in the end have a job that is better suited for you. Your description makes the book sound like a must-read. Good job!
Hey Kristen. The book you read sounds super interesting. I have always wanted to learn about psychology myself. I can agree with what you touched on: having the right mindset will increase the chance of finding right opportunities and becoming successful. I couldn't agree more that its important to have a positive mindset and constantly improve it. I also find it facinating that you mentioned how people change their mindsets and attitudes easily. That is very true, even when it comes to seeing new trends on TV or online because we live in a digital age. Great job overall!
ReplyDeleteHey Kristen,
ReplyDeleteI think is an interesting book, also very useful. How many times people stick to a mindset and are unable to see other perspectives, this causes a lot of problems in every branch. I agree with how important it is to learn how to change a mindset or perspective about something, this could help solve several problems, from science to something like politics.
I think that book was a good choice.
Hey Kristen,
ReplyDeleteOur psychology can determine how far we can go in life. Sometimes we need to have the right mindset to make the right choices. Every day, we face situations that require us to think to have success. This book shows a way on how to improve our psychology to become better. I liked the assignment that you would give out to a class. In, my opinion a self-evaluation good idea because students will know where they are standing out. I also agree that this assignment could improve the student mindset. Thank you for sharing!
