From the renowned psychologist who introduced the world to “growth mindset” comes this updated edition of the million-copy bestseller—featuring transformative insights into redefining success, building lifelong resilience, and supercharging self-improvement. “Through clever research studies and engaging writing, Dweck illuminates how our beliefs about our capabilities exert tremendous influence on how we learn and which paths we take in life.”—Bill Gates, GatesNotes “It’s not always the people who start out the smartest who end up the smartest.” After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment. In this edition, Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love—to transform their lives and your own.

Published in 1928, Huxley's novel delves into the lives of a diverse group of characters, intertwining their stories to create a rich tapestry of ideas and perspectives. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world, the narrative weaves through the lives of artists, intellectuals, and individuals grappling with the shifting moral landscape of the time. Huxley employs a mosaic-like structure, presenting a series of interconnected stories that touch upon themes of love, politics, science, and the clash of ideologies.

Through a cast of complex characters, including writers, scientists, and socialites, Huxley engages in a profound exploration of the conflicts inherent in personal relationships and the broader societal challenges of the era. With keen wit and satirical insight, Huxley dissects the foibles of his characters, offering a critical commentary on the moral and philosophical dilemmas of the time. The novel provides a panoramic view of a society in flux, offering reflections on the clash between tradition and modernity. "Point Counter Point" stands as a testament to Huxley's literary prowess, displaying his ability to blend philosophical inquiry with a keen understanding of human nature. The novel remains a thought-provoking and relevant exploration of the complexities of human existence, making it a timeless work that continues to captivate readers with its intellectual depth and narrative complexity."

The next book in the acclaimed Cormack and Woodward series, set during the Berlin Blockade of 1948, which has sometimes been described as the Cuban Missile Crisis of the 1940s, where a highly volatile situation could easily have developed into a full-blown conflict. Cormack arrives in Berlin to take over a new post as the head of a counter-intelligence unit whose job is both to detect Soviet agents and to deal with Black Market activity. He is soon re-united with his old friend Woodward, who is involved in the Airlift, and the two find themselves in the middle of an undercover operation in which an ex-Nazi assassin has been smuggled into Berlin. But who has he been sent to kill, and why? Their investigations lead them into discovering the shadowy outlines of a conspiracy whose plans, if successful, could lead to millions of deaths… and some of the conspirators seem to be their own superiors. Not knowing whom they can trust, Cormack and Woodward somehow have to prevent the assassination taking place. They do not even know who the victim is to be, nor where or when it is to happen, but the price of failure is World War Three…
