McMindfulness, by Ronald Purser

A lively and razor-sharp critique of mindfulness as it has been enthusiastically co-opted by corporations, public schools, and the US military.

Interesting and provocative study finds that growth mindset was not associated with better school grades, including over time as coursework became more challenging. In some cases adopting a growth mindset even harmed student's educational attainment. Taken with prior studies finding that growth mindset-- the belief that you can increase intelligence with the right mindset-- is actually not correlated with IQ whatsoever, the authors conclude: "Students are taught a belief which is predicted to be false." 😲

I am sure growth mindset improves lots of learning outcomes in life, but this study highlights the fact that one can't just growth mindset their way to learning challenging knowledge and skills. https://t.co/MkCZfHXDH1
