Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance
A must-read book for anyone striving to succeed, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows parents, educators, students, and business people (both seasoned and new) that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, rather a focused persistence called grit.
Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that not talent or luck makes all the difference.
“Grit is a persuasive and fascinating response to the cult of IQ fundamentalism. Duckworth reminds us that it is character and perseverance that set the successful apart.” -- Malcolm Gladwell, bestselling author of David and Goliath, The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, and Talking to Strangers
