2. The Courage to be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga
Your finest and truest self can only be unlocked by the courage to be disliked, and this book teaches you how to do so. Using Alfred Adler's theories, the authors show how we are all free to select our own destiny free of the constraints of previous experiences, doubts, and preconceptions of others. Adler was one of the three titans of nineteenth-century psychology alongside Freud and Jung. Developing the courage to change and disregarding the constraints that we and people around us can set on ourselves is a tremendously liberating concept that enables us.
3. Mindset by Dr. Carol S. Dweck
Carol's usage of the example of a curious youngster as an example of a person with a Growth Mindset was one of my favorite aspects of this book. A challenging arithmetic assignment will be no match for a student with a growth mentality in school. Afterwards, they return to their homes and immediately begin working on more difficult mathematical tasks. Those that have a Growth Mindset understand that we learn more when we work through a difficulty.
There is nothing better than having a growth mindset. For those that are constantly looking for new methods to learn, the sky is the limit. In addition, persons with Growth Mindsets aren't obsessed with being the best or getting the best scores. Self-improvement is a source of fulfillment for people like this, who get a rush from pushing themselves to the limit. In order to progress, they will practice constantly and are aware that you must work hard and endure some setbacks. They appreciate being among people who are better than themselves. Spending time with those who have greater talent helps them learn new things. Because these folks are so open-minded, they're always looking for methods to change things up when they're no longer working.
In addition to developing themselves, persons with a growth mindset inspire those around them to do the same. They are aware that success in life is a result of collaborating with others. To succeed, one must look up to those who have already achieved great things in their lives. With a Growth Mindset as a business owner, people are respectful of their employees and grateful for their hard work. As a result, they are receptive to other people's views.
4. Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
Gladwell disproves the classic formula for success: passion + talent + skill = success. While these characteristics contribute to success, success is also influenced by one's upbringing and lifestyle. For example, he shows that almost 80% of professional hockey players were born in January or February. This outcome is not random. Rather, it's because hockey leagues are based on birth year. So a person born earlier in the year is older (larger, faster, stronger). In addition, scouts hunt for the greatest players early on. Once picked up, they get better training and competition, further honing their skills.
While some people's success is attributed to their superior intellect, studies demonstrate that intellect does not determine achievement above a certain threshold, which is far lower than expected.
Practical Intelligence
The rich receive training in practical intelligence, which is a key factor in their outcomes. Negotiation, questioning authority, appreciating your place in the workplace, etc. are all examples of practical intelligence. The difference between rich and poor parents is that rich parents appreciate the value of practice intelligence abilities and find ways to build these skills in their children. For example, a wealthy parent may advise their child to question the doctor, which builds confidence in questioning authoritative figures. Gladwell calls this rich kids' behavior "concerted cultivation," because it offers rich kids a substantial advantage over impoverished ones.
5. Grit by Angela Duckworth
When it comes to obtaining world-class performance, Duckworth's Grit focuses on the necessity of resolve and determination is direction. Her years of research led her to the conclusion that intrinsic talent has less to do with extraordinary performance than does tenacity and perseverance. Simply said, those who are highly accomplished are paragons of endurance who have a steadfast commitment to their chosen field. They are resilient, diligent, and have a clear sense of purpose. She devised the Grit Scale in order to predict future performance. Surprisingly, grit is a greater predictor of final success than inherent aptitude in most cases.
As Duckworth puts it, being gritty is "... placing one foot in front of the other and keeping going." The ability to maintain focus on a challenging and worthwhile task is referred to as grit. To be tenacious means to put up the effort day after day, week after week, year after year in tough practice. To be gritty means to fall down seven times and get back up eight times.
