In this episode of the Average Jacks Podcast, we’re back with Book Club Episode 3, and this time we’re diving into a book that had a big impact on me personally—Carol Dweck’s Mindset: The New Psychology of Success.
I choose books for the podcast based on topics that really hit home, and Dweck’s ground breaking work on the power of a growth mindset had a lasting effect on how I approach challenges and opportunities in life. Her research into the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset reshaped how I think about learning, personal development, and achievement.
In this episode, I break down why this book resonated with me, the key takeaways that shifted my mindset, and how adopting a growth mindset has helped me embrace failure as part of the process toward success.

I talk about how Dweck’s insights can be applied to everyday life, from overcoming obstacles to unlocking potential in yourself and others.
