I have heard of growth mindset and fixed mindsets and this book contributed to a more developed idea of learning and one’s limits. The author includes research and makes some good points.

Brilliant and engaging book that helped me understand the limits of our current approaches to education, and what we can do to grow beyond our expectations. Jo Boaler shares her brilliant observations about the limits we place upon ourselves and the children and adults we teach. Ms Boaler brings the science - and art of teaching and learning come alive. This book encouraged me - in my mid fifties to begin actively learning again. Huge thanks to the publisher and netgalley for this ARC x

I absolutely loved this book. I am a UK primary school teacher who has heard a lot about growth mindset and Shanghai maths, and this book tied together a lot of loose strands in the reasoning behind it. It was inspiring, and showed how to encourage teachers and students into having a growth mindset in maths and other subjects. Quite a quick read, suitable for teachers and parents.
