BATB score: 3.33 / 10
The book's first 3 chapters were GOLD 🏆 and it all just went downhill from there ⚓️ . The key is "fixed vs growth mindset" yet redundantly explained with this-and-that anecdotes.
Best to: Yes, I get it: pick growth > fixed mindset. I got it since your first chapter. Aha. Aha.
Best for: Asians, who were spanked by their Asian parents to be perfect: A+, King Classroom, 4.00GPA, Ivy League, scholarship, lawyers/doctors/pilot - everything else is a disgrace! #YesYou #Mindset #bookstagram
Best as: a book that will ease our Asian strict-ass-mind by a little bit (then we revert back to be that Asian nerd again).
