The authors put the various personality styles in a succinct manner that was easy to understand. I had some inclination of the various personality styles but this is the most systematic way I have seen so far. The key takeaway of the Platinum Rule is to treat people how they want to be treated but just how you want to be treated (Golden Rule).

Book Review “Mindset: The New Psychology of Success” by Carol Dweck
This book is about the “Growth” mindset vs. “Fixed” mindset. My key take-aways:
Don’t praise a child’s talent but praise his/her efforts. Lots of prominent examples like John McEnroe, Tiger Wood, and etc. The concept was repeated throughout book. When listening to the Audiobook, I kept hearing “mindset” repeated so many times that I almost had to turned off the audiobook. Yes, it’s best to have a growth mindset instead of the fixed mindset.
