The general argument made by Salman Khan in his work, The Learning Myth: Why I’ll Never Tell My Son He’s Smart, is that he will never tell his son he is smart because it will lead him down the path of a fixed mindset. More specifically, Khan argues that the growth mindset is extremely efficient and should be used nationwide. he writes, “I really want to start a national conversation that examines how we as a society can help people develop a growth mindset.” In this passage, Khan is suggesting that he would want to kickstart a conversation about developing a growth mindset. In conclusion, Khan’s belief is that having a growth mindset is better than having a fixed mindset because your brain, since it is like a muscle, can essentially “grow”.
