Stanford professor Jo Boaler introduces the concept of the 'fixed mindset,' and explains why a 'math brain' doesn't exist.
Barbara Arrowsmith-Young was born with severe learning disabilities, but neuroplasticity helped her become an educator. Author Jo Boaler explains how our brains adapt and change.
Children are taught to fear making mistakes in school, but Boaler and her students explain why mistakes are not only okay - they're critical for brain growth.
Math administrator Jesse Melgares didn't believe he was good at his job, and it affected his performance. Boaler explains how self-belief can actually change our physiology.
Math is traditionally taught through memorization and numbers on a page. But Boaler and math teacher Nancy Qushair explain why other tactics - including visual ones - are just as important.
Teacher Jodi Campanelli believed that she had to be extremely fast in order to be good at math. Boaler explains why an emphasis on speed is actually harmful to deeper learning.
Collaboration and diversity are good for our brains. Boaler explains why we should never do math alone.

More about Limitless Mind

In Limitless Mind, Stanford University professor Jo Boaler reveals six keys to unlocking our limitless potential to learn anything. Having spent decades studying the inherent bias in our education systems, Boaler shows that achieving greatness in any given skill isn’t something passed down genetically but rather due to the six keys discussed in the book. Limitless Mind explores our human brains not as static but adapting, growing, and completely capable of change. In schools, children are treated as if they’re capable of learning certain things but not others. This mindset persists into our adulthood. Jo Boaler uses scientific methods to reveal this mindset to be false and shows that anyone can learn anything at any age.
