Mindset: The New Psychology of Success

nobody@vox.com(chitoes) — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 20:27:34 -0700

This book talks about praising effort rather than focusing on results. Lots of examples involving kids. I had the privilege of hearing the author speak at our preschool - very thought provoking research. Her work has definitely affected the way I aspire to parent.

Wish I had time to finish this! It's beautifully written and a good story so far. I started it back in September and was reading it between dropping off one kid and picking up the other. It's been so long I probably have to start over.

Old Turtle and the Broken Truth

nobody@vox.com(chitoes) — Sun, 04 Mar 2007 23:49:30 -0800

We checked this out from the school library and are planning to buy a copy. A great humanist parable that can be enjoyed by atheists, agnostics, and religious folks. Clear, strong message but doesn't go over the top in sappiness.
