I feel like the general argument and theme of the book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, Carol Dweck is about shaping your mindset in order to be successful. A lot of times people often talk about success and what it entails but their mindsets aren’t necessarily ready to get to that level. Their mindset, isn’t ready for the success on a variety of levels including the willpower to be successful despite the obstacles and challengers that may come. Moreover she talks about the fixed mindset which ultimately refers to not limiting your skills and knowledge. 

I feel like the book definitely enhanced what I learned in the sense that a lot of it is about preparing for success. It involves about approaching the situation differently than before as well as preparing it from all aspects. Moreover, it reinforced the process of networking specifically in that you have to categorize and find a role for each of them.

One exercise that I would suggest would be is to have a variety of different scenarios and ask how they would react to see if their mindset is limited. 

One of my aha moments, was more surprising moments was when they referred and talked about rewarding effort more than achievement in younger children. This surprised me because we live in the culture when it is the other way around and rewarding winning and success more so than trying.
