Yeah I got to the part where he mentioned dweck, who wrote what is possibly the worst psych book I’ve ever had the misfortune of reading, and figured that between a backstory with no relevance or interest to me and tacit promotion of ‘you can do it!’ pop psychologists, I’d be better off reading something else.
