Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
Carol S. Dweck
"Mindset" is the classic work by Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck. The book introduces a core concept that has transformed countless lives: the distinction between a "Fixed Mindset" and a "Growth Mindset." Dweck explains that those with a fixed mindset believe intelligence and talent are innate and unchangeable traits. In contrast, those with a growth mindset believe that abilities can be developed through dedication, hard work, and input from others. This book is not just theoretical psychology; it is a practical manual for shifting one's focus from a desire to "prove" oneself to a desire to "improve" oneself. Carol S. Dweck is a leading expert in the fields of personality, social, and developmental psychology. She is the Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology at Stanford University and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Her pioneering research on motivation and personality is highly regarded by business leaders like Bill Gates and has profoundly influenced educational philosophies worldwide, making her one of the most respected psychologists of our time. This book is essential because it uncovers the truth about potential. It explains why some naturally gifted people stagnate due to a fear of failure, while seemingly ordinary individuals achieve greatness through resilience. Whether you are a manager looking to improve leadership, a parent hoping to build grit in your children, or an individual seeking a breakthrough, the mental tools provided in this book (such as the concept of "Not Yet") will help you shatter self-imposed limits and build the resilience needed to thrive in a challenging world.

The Courage to Be Disliked
Ichiro Kishimi
"The Courage to Be Disliked" is a transformative guide that unlocks the power within you to become the person you truly want to be. Written by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga, this global bestseller illuminates the profound insights of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of 19th-century psychology alongside Freud and Jung. The book unfolds as an accessible, narrative dialogue between a cynical young man and a philosopher. Through their debate, the authors challenge the conventional wisdom that our past trauma determines our future. Instead, they argue that people can change at any moment; the only thing standing in the way is the courage to do so. At its heart lies the liberating concept of the "separation of tasks": the realization that all problems are interpersonal relationship problems. To be truly free, one must stop seeking recognition from others and accept that being disliked is a necessary cost of living authentically. By focusing on the "here and now" rather than the past, this book offers a philosophical yet practical roadmap to lasting happiness and the freedom to craft your own life story.
