Reading Reflection #2

Mindset : How You Can Fulfil Your Potential

Carol Dweck

1.    Theme: The theme of this book was situations and experiences and the responses people had to them.

2.    This book connected to my experiences in entrepreneurship by showing me the importance of questioning and considering other opinions. This book caused me to think about different experiences I have had and how I could have and did learn from them. This book gives a strong push to think differently about situations and experiences and I think that I can relate to the types of people that were interviewed.

3.    If I had to design an exercise it would be like the situation or experience-based scenario question interviews like in the book so that I could gather reactions and thoughts from others. I would ask people questions about similar situations I have had and see how their responses differ from mine and to see what could have been done differently. This would help me to understand more about how I responded to things compared to how others would. I would hope that this would ultimately help me to be better off in the future.

4.    The biggest surprise was the number of quotes from interviewers that were used. It seems like its one of the most important parts and essential to understanding how interviewers felt.
