Mindset by Carol Dweck
1) This book talks bout the growth mindset verses the fixed mindset, and how having a specific mindset may be initially programmed into out minds growing up, we have the choice to change it once we've been brought aware of it.
2) This book opens up dimensions as far as possibilities go. She taught that even though you may not have a certain ability, with the growth mindset you are able to work past that and grow in that area. That's vital to business. To have a growth mindset is to be able to be creative, and creativity is important in what we do.
3) For an exercise, I would maybe take a set of questions from the book and ask others what their answers are to those questions. for example, "true or false: I am born with a certain level of intelligence and that cannot be changed."
4) There wasn't really anything in this book that gave me an aha moment, probably because I'm more of a growth minded person, but I think the biggest thing was learning how many people keep themselves in a box simply because of their beliefs about themselves, people, and their capabilities.
