Stanford's psychologist of ability-as-practice; Mindset (2006); what 'she trains her brain the right way' means
This is Jonathan Hare's account, with its provenance shown. The person or organization named has not yet claimed or corrected it.
Stanford professor; author of Mindset — the role the film's own credits give, and all this page takes from the public record. In this record for one stated reason: Carol Dweck is one of the twenty-two credited narrators of the Silicon Valley Historical Association's Steve Jobs: Visionary Entrepreneur, and Jonathan Hare records having met and having connections to her (S-183). Where, when and through whom are not yet on the record; Hare's earlier account (S-182) is that most of these connections ran through Laurene Powell Jobs. The page is a placeholder that says so, and an invitation to either side to fill it.
The public record, at web grade. The Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology at Stanford, whose decades of research distinguished fixed from growth mindsets — the finding that beliefs about whether ability is static or trainable shape what people attempt and survive — popularized in Mindset (2006) and absorbed into education, sport and management worldwide. In this record's network: she is the psychology under one of its own passages — Hare's account of Eileen Gu (S-161), the athlete who 'understands neuroplasticity... trains her brain the right way,' is a growth-mindset argument in six words; and the record's own recurring claim about itself — that character is built by episodes, not fixed by endowment — is Dweck's thesis applied to a life instead of a classroom.
