Timely Article in @Stanford

Most of the folks in the reading group probably noticed this already, but if there is anyone else out there who is looking at the blog and hasn't read Ken Bain's book there was an interesting article in this months issue of @Stanford about psychologist Carol Dweck. Her research on the effect of growth vs. static mind-sets in developing intelligence was cited in Ken Bain's book. In short, her research has shown that people who believe that they can improve are likely to do so whereas people who believe they have an innate fixed ability are less likely to be able to progress. For a very readable description of the story behind this research, check out the link.

I missed it...

... but how did it go? Any new insights on Bain's work?
