Review: Mindset: The New Psychology of Success

Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol S. Dweck
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Basically this Audible Audiobook is an extension and elaborative discription of Angela Duckworth's book where the author put forwarded the differences between Fixed Mindset and Growth(Grit) Mindset. And, what I love is the real life examples of many personalities from once a famous violinist to Top Golfer and their mindsets.

This book will surely give you a new perspective to see life differently, not in Black and White order.
So, I personally recommend you to read either one of them as both discuss the very same thing.

Review: Maximize Your Potential: Grow Your Expertise, Take Bold Risks & Build an Incredible Career

Maximize Your Potential: Grow Your Expertise, Take Bold Risks & Build an Incredible Career by Jocelyn K. Glei
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

WoW! So much to learn from this book. The second in series and an incredible sequel of Manage your day-to-day (link http://amzn.to/2lkpOXe )
Seriously, there're no words enough to explain the greatness of this book, a fabulous compilation of stories, lessons and teachings of some rare and successful persons.

Why just four stars?
Simply, bcoz earlier one was beyond my expectations and this one is some what repetition and extension of earlier book.


I honestly recommend you to read. If not, then at least go though the notes and highlights I've created, which I'm going to put on my blog www.sumt7.blogspot.com

Here's the link http://amzn.to/2lkeYk1 to buy it at Rs 49 or 0.79 USD.

Review: Smile or Die

Smile or Die by Barbara Ehrenreich
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

WARNING! ALERT! WARNING!
If you're a lover of self-help books & motivational videos then please through away this book or return to the library or seller at earliest. When some authors are damn sure about their book's failure or don't able to gather the much needed courage to write a book in overcrowded segment of self-help, they just do the opposite. Not only to get cheap publicity but also to earn some money for survival.

Through this book, the author Barbara Ehrenreich shows the positivity didn't work in life but I opine, the whole book belongs to some losers, who have not achieved something great in life & now blaming anything that comes in their way. Though I agree here that the Motivational authors, books, seminars etc. become a multi billion dollar industry but it's quite wrong to say that things didn't work.

In short, according to her, a culture of positive thinking has pervaded American society, influencing everything from health to religion to work. While optimism and willpower are celebrated as helpful and even fundamental to improving our lives, such a belief promotes behavior that blinds us to reality.

Still I dare you read it at least once...!
