'Progress and Poverty: An Inquiry into the Cause of Industrial Depressions and of Increase of Want with Increase of Wealth: The Remedy' is an 1879 book by social theorist and economist Henry George.

    DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official 
"Mindset: The New Psychology of Success" by Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., introduces the powerful concept of mindset, which has the potential to impact success in various aspects of life significantly. Based on extensive research, Dweck distinguishes between two mindsets: the fixed mindset, where people believe abilities are unchangeable, and the growth mindset, where individuals believe that abilities can be developed and improved over time. 
Dweck's book demonstrates how adopting a growth mindset can lead to incredible achievement in education, work, sports, and the arts. She also delves into the concept of a "false growth mindset" and provides guidance on embracing a deeper and more authentic growth mindset. Furthermore, she extends the application of mindset beyond individuals to groups and organizations, emphasizing how it can shape the culture of these entities. 
By understanding and fostering the right mindset, Dweck suggests that leaders, parents, teachers, and coaches can inspire personal growth and transformation in themselves and those they influence. "Mindset" offers invaluable insights into the psychology of success and provides practical strategies for harnessing the power of mindset to achieve outstanding accomplishments.

    "Commentaries on the Laws of England" is a book written by William Blackstone, an English jurist, judge, and politician. The book was first published in the 18th century and became one of the most influential legal treatises in English history. It is divided into four volumes and provides a comprehensive overview of English law, including the history of the legal system, the principles of property law, criminal law, and civil law. 
The book is notable for its clear and accessible writing style, which made it widely accessible to non-lawyers and helped to popularize the study of law. It also played a key role in shaping the development of the American legal system, as it was widely read and studied by American lawyers and judges in the early years of the United States. 
Blackstone's "Commentaries" is still considered a foundational work of English law and legal philosophy, and its influence can be seen in the legal systems of many other countries around the world. The book is also valued for its historical significance, as it provides a detailed record of the legal system in England during the 18th century and the social and political forces that shaped it.
