Limitless Mind (learn, Lead And Live Without Barriers)

When we learn, we change what we believe and how we interact with the world. This changes who we are as people and what we can achieve.

When we learn, we change what we believe and how we interact with the world. This changes who we are as people and what we can achieve.

Many people grow up being told they are ‘not a maths person’ or perhaps ‘not smart’. They come to believe their potential is limited.

Now, however, the latest science has revealed that our identities are constantly in flux; when we learn new things, we can change our identities, increase our potential and broaden our capacity to receive new information.

Drawing from the latest research, Professor Boaler followed thousands of school students, studied their learning practices and examined the most effective ways to transform pupils from low to high achievers. Throughout her study, Boaler has collaborated with Stanford University neuroscience experts, harnessing their expertise to reinforce her advanced understanding of learning and educational development.

In Limitless Mind, Boaler presents original groundbreaking research that proves that limiting beliefs really do hold us back from fulfilling our potential and that with a few careful life hacks we can transform our potential for good.

Jo Boaler is a British Professor of Mathematics Education at Stanford University. A pioneer in educational development, Professor Boaler founded and launched the online learning platform, youcubed. Following a career in secondary school teaching, Boaler was appointed as the Marie Curie Professor of Mathematics Education. She is an elected fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a former president of the International Organization for Women and Mathematics Education.
