The Growth Mindset Workbook: CBT Skills to Help You Build Resilience, Increase Confidence, and Thrive through Life's Challenges Paperback – March 1, 2022

This book is a game-changer. It gave me realistic examples on how to change my attitude to a growth mindset. I would recommend this book to any person who is struggling to achieve their personal goals or who is ambivalent about identifying their ambitions. The life satisfaction questionnaire at the beginning of the book puts everything in perspective. The growth mindset charts have been invaluable on how to apply it to my own goals. These charts made it easy for me to recognize the differences between fixed and growth mindsets and how to develop a step-by-step plan in the development of my personal goals. I personally applied it to my inability to remodeling my bathroom, and now have finished with a plan.I appreciate that this book helps with all levels of development both personal and professional. The author’s FLOAT method is innovative and practical. I have applied it when I felt my emotions taking over. I also appreciate, that in the last chapter, the author recognizes how we have a tendency to revert to fixed mind sets, but we will be able to recognize it and be flexible in changing our ways.

This book is a must read! I would recommend this book for people who want to achieve personal and professional goals, or are going through difficult times. As an educator, I was familiar with Growth Mindset. I implemented many of these ideas with my students. After retiring from education and suffering from Covid isolation, I found this book to be a great help. The workbook format is reader friendly. It starts with a life satisfaction questionnaire. The growth mindset charts and real life examples help you understand growth mindset vs. fixed mindset. The work book helps you deal with fixed mindset emotions. I used The Growth Mindset Workbook to create my own personal Growth Mindset Chart.I value this book for the many ways it can help you professionally and personally. The Growth Mindset Workbook has an added benefit of having free tools you can download such as the worksheets and guided meditation exercises.

If you want to be more resilient in life and able to take on challenges, adapt to difficult circumstances, accomplish more, connect with others in healthy ways, and feel more life satisfaction, order a copy of The Growth Mindset Workbook, and get started. In this easy-to-follow text, you will learn about the science and psychology of mindsets, and how to distinguish between helpful and unhelpful mental habits. More importantly, you can learn how to shift your mindset toward the most constructive thoughts and actions and turn this important skill into a habit. Some might be surprised to learn that relentlessly positive mental mind-sets are not optimal and can be a major hinderance to life-long growth. Dr. Elliott-Moskwa outlines the various menaces to a growth mind-set, hiccups that everyone encounters at least occasionally, and defines the skills needed to tame these menaces, achieve personal and professional goals, and thrive. These important skills and habits can break down the self-defeating cycles of a negatively fixed mindset and sustain momentum toward the things you really want in life.The text includes plenty of examples, clear explanations, well-crafted exercises, and worksheets to guide readers in strengthening their own growth mindset, and all worksheets can be downloaded. This workbook really shows how to change your life for the better by deepening self-awareness and building specific mental skills, skills that anyone can use. I especially liked the focus on catching inevitable slips toward a negative mindset and sustaining a growth focus over time. Although this is not a treatment for clinical mental health problems, the information and skills presented in The Growth Mindset Workbook can augment ongoing professional care, especially cognitive behavioral therapy. I highly recommend The Growth Mindset Workbook to anyone who wants to learn some truly effective mental skills for life-long growth and satisfaction.
