In an age when we are constantly being asked to retrain and reinvent ourselves, to adapt to new technologies and changing industries, this book assuages our fears and inspires us with a sense of possibility. Our passions and talents may actually surprise us. In Mind shift, Barbara Oakley tells the stories of people who have overcome learning "handicaps" of all kinds--such as Imposter's Syndrome and advancing age--and shows how we can turn perceived weaknesses into strengths. For example, people may feel like they're at a disadvantage if they pursue a new field later in life; yet those who change careers can be fertile cross-pollinators--they bring valuable insights from one discipline to another. The power of simple persistence in building talent is also often underestimated.

Dr. Oakley reveals the latest neuroscientific insights into how our brains change when we learn something new. She shares strategies for learning that are backed by brain science, including practical exercises to apply in our own lives.

 

Review

"Mindshift is essential reading for anyone seeking a reboot, reset, or reinvention. As Oakley trots around the globe and across disciplines, she explains the power of taking a 'pi' approach to your career, why worriers often get ahead, why negative traits can house hidden advantages, and why it’s smarter to broaden your passion than follow it. Jammed with inspiring stories and practical tips, Mindshift is a book that can change your life.”
— Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author of Drive and A Whole New Mind

“Following your passion is easy. Finding it is hard. This book is full of examples to help—people who have found their way around roadblocks or just plowed right through them.”
—Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take

“Oakley’s work is remarkable for its breadth and depth…fascinating.” 
—James Taranto, The Wall Street Journal

"Significant change is possible. With those four hopeful words, Barbara Oakley opens the door to an entirely new way of seeing and reaching our potential. Don't hesitate, it matters."
—Seth Godin, New York Times bestselling author of Linchpin

“The message of Mindshift is utterly convincing—you can learn, change, and grow, often far more than you can imagine. Read, learn, and enjoy!”
—Francisco J. Ayala, professor at the University of California, Irvine, and former president and chairman of the board of the American Association for the Advancement of Science

"Mindshift is a fantastic book about how we learn and how we can use our talents (or learn new ones) in order to create a more satisfying career for ourselves. If you're stuck in a rut and don't know what
