The book seems to explain a lot about people’s attitudes and reactions to certain situations, with what seems like unusually strong experimental support to boot. I recommend it to anyone (and I mean anyone—I’ve actually ordered extra copies for friends and family) but teachers, parents and people with interest in self-improvement will likely benefit the most.
Also, I’d appreciate pointers on how to find out if the book is being translated to Finnish.
I’m no fan of joke religions—even the serious joke religions—but the Church of the SubGenius promoted the idea of the “Short Duration Personal Savior” as a mind-hack. I like that one.
I recently finished the book Mindset by Carol S. Dweck. I’m currently rather wary of my own feelings about the book; I feel like a man with a hammer in a happy death spiral. I’d like to hear others’ reactions.

Edit: Fixed markdown and grammar.

(No opinion on the book—haven’t read it.)
