About Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck: Why do some people flourish when faced with a challenge, while others crumble? This is the question that has defined Stanford psychology professor Carol Dweck's decades of research, resulting in her ground-breaking theory of mindset. Dweck believes that talent and intelligence do not tell the full story about one's ability to achieve. Instead, what determines personal success is whether one has a fixed or growth mindset; the first is a belief that our qualities and strengths cannot be altered, and the second way of thinking supports the idea that they can change over time. Based on meticulous research, and with anecdotes about successful CEOs, athletes, artists, and educators who achieved greatness through attitude as much as ability, Mindset offers new ways of thinking about motivation and personal development. The summary and analysis in this ebook are intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to a great work of nonfiction.

Symbols / Lipinski, Mario Kai.

Violence is hard to escape because of the scars it leaves-on the body, the mind, and the heart. Small, skinny, and timid, Matt is the school's punching bag. He suffers in silence and holds no hope anyone will come to his aid. The last thing on his mind is finding someone special. He's sure it's impossible, so why bother trying? Shane is no stranger to pain. At his old school, he broke a football player's arms for tormenting his friend, and with his size and multiple tattoos, he looks every bit the thug everyone-Matt included-assumes he is. Building trust isn't easy, but a sweet yet passionate romance slowly unfolds. Their road isn't without bumps, but Matt and Shane navigate them together, finding happiness and security in each other-until another act of violence and its aftermath threatens to tear their lives-and their love-apart once and for all. But like the symbols etched into Shane's skin, some things are made to last.

In 1737, Anna Konig and her fellow church members stagger off a small wooden ship after ten weeks at sea, eager to start a new life in the vibrant but raw Pennsylvania frontier. On the docks of Port Philadelphia waits bishop Jacob Bauer, founder of the settlement and father to ship carpenter Bairn. It's a time of new beginnings for the reunited Bauer family, and for Anna and Bairn's shipboard romance to blossom. But this perfect moment cannot last. As Bairn grasps the reality of what it means to be Amish in the New World--isolated, rigid with expectations, under the thumb of his domineering father--his enthusiasm evaporates. When a sea captain offers the chance to cross the ocean one more time, Bairn grabs it. Just one more crossing, he promises Anna. But will she wait for him? When Henrik Newman joins the church just as it makes its way to the frontier, Anna is torn. He seems to be everything Bairn is not--bold, devoted, and delighted to vie for her heart. And the most dramatic difference? He is here; Bairn is not. Far from the frontier, an unexpected turn of events weaves together the lives of Bairn, Anna, and Henrik.
