Carol S. Dweck is a pioneering psychologist and leading researcher in motivation and mindsets. She is the Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology at Stanford University and a renowned expert on the growth mindset theory. Dweck’s groundbreaking work on the power of mindsets has revolutionized our understanding of human motivation and achievement.

Dweck’s journey began with her fascination with how people cope with failure and setbacks. Through extensive research, she discovered that individuals with a “growth mindset” – the belief that abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work – tend to achieve greater success than those with a “fixed mindset,” who view intelligence as static. This insight formed the basis of her influential book, “Mindset: The New Psychology of Success,” which has been widely acclaimed for its practical and transformative insights.

In addition to her academic pursuits, Dweck is a sought-after speaker and consultant, sharing her expertise with organizations and individuals worldwide. Her work has been featured in numerous publications, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Economist. Despite her numerous accolades, Dweck remains grounded and passionate about her mission to help people unlock their full potential through the power of a growth mindset. She currently resides in the San Francisco Bay Area.
