27A Reading Reflection No.3

1. I believe the general argument of Carol Dweck wrote about in Mindset: The New Psychology of Sucess is that you have to find happiness and a sense of self-love in yourself before you can find it in others.  Dweck speaks about how a positive self-image can change the way you approach different problems you encounter in life.

2. Mindset: The New Psychology of success connects to what we learn in class because its about finding things within yourself that build confidence. In this class, we have different assignments meant to find new things about our personality that we can develop. I know I have discovered new talents and resources that have increased my self-image. 

3. The exercise I would design based on the book would be similar to the Bug List we did in week 1. I would challenge students to find things that they do that negatively impact their mindset and explain why they put themselves through it. 

4. one of the most interesting, or biggest surprise, I had while reading was that fact that people with a growth mindset will not only reach their full potential but will exceed it.  his got me thinking whether I have a growth mindset or a fixed one.
