Distortions,” Archives of General Psychology 9 (1963), 325–333; Prisoners of Hate: The
Cognitive Basis of Anger, Hostility, and Violence (New York: HarperCollins, 1999). (At about

Klosko, Reinventing Your Life (New York: Plume/Penguin, 1994). Although Young and Klosko

workshop was developed with Lisa Sorich Blackwell with grants from the William T. Grant
Foundation and the Spencer Foundation: L. S. Blackwell, C. S. Dweck, and K. Trzesniewski,

Longitudinal Study and an Intervention, 2003. I would also like to acknowledge other
psychologists who have developed their own student workshops based on the growth mindset:
Jeff Howard, founder of the Efficacy Institute, and Joshua Aronson, Catherine Good, and

brain”: his was written for the workshop by Lisa Sorich Blackwell. Brainology: he Brainology
