In from Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, Carol Dweck shares her perspective and theory about how we have misunderstood achievement, success, and how we may unintentionally be reinforcing them. Compose an essay in which you summarize Dwecks argument, her main points, and her most important examples.

Then, draw your own conclusions about the impact of these two mindsets on your life. Where do Dwecks observations about independence, conformity, and emotional maturity match up with your personal experience? Alternatively, where does your experience counter or complicate what Dweck has to say?
