YOUNG PROFESSIONAL NETWORK 2025 BOOK CLUB

YPN Book Club’s feature book for 2025 is the updated edition of

Mindset: The New Psychology of Success’ by Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D

After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavour can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset–those who believe that abilities are fixed–are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset–those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment.

In this edition, Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love–to transform their lives and your own.

Testimonial:

“The YPN book club has been a great place to make and further develop connections with other like-minded YPN members. Sharing different experiences and perspectives with reference to the book has helped me expand my understanding not only of the specific concepts covered but also of how others have been able to conquer their own personal goals. The book club has been very enjoyable and personally inspiring. “ – Robert
