In this revolutionary book, a professor of education at Stanford University and acclaimed math educator who has spent decades studying the impact of beliefs and bias on education, reveals the six keys to unlocking learning potential, based on the latest scientific findings.

From the moment we enter school as children, we are made to feel as if our brains are fixed entities, capable of learning certain things and not others, influenced exclusively by genetics. This notion follows us into adulthood, where we tend to simply accept these established beliefs about our skillsets (i.e. that we don't have a math brain or that we aren't the creative type). These damaging--and as new science has revealed, false--assumptions have influenced all of us at some time, affecting our confidence and willingness to try new things and limiting our choices, and, ultimately, our futures.

Stanford University professor, bestselling author, and acclaimed educator Jo Boaler has spent decades studying the impact of beliefs and bias on education. In Limitless Mind, she explodes these myths and reveals the six keys to unlocking our boundless learning potential. Her research proves that those who achieve at the highest levels do not do so because of a genetic inclination toward any one skill but because of the keys that she reveals in the book. Our brains are not fixed, but entirely capable of change, growth, adaptability, and rewiring. Want to be fluent in mathematics? Learn a foreign language? Play the guitar? Write a book? The truth is not only that anyone at any age can learn anything, but the act of learning itself fundamentally changes who we are, and as Boaler argues so elegantly in the pages of this book, what we go on to achieve.

Jo Boaler is a professor of education and equity at Stanford University. She is the co-founder and director of youcubed, an educational resource reaching more than 230 million students. She is the author of the first MOOC on mathematics learning for teachers and parents, as well as of many research papers on the subject of education and mathematics. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, Time magazine, the Telegraph, and the Wall Street Journal. The BBC named her one of the eight educators who are changing the face of education. Her books include What's Math Got to Do with It?, The Elephant in the Classroom: Helping Children Learn and Love Maths, and the Mathematical Mindsets series.
