Grit by Angela Duckworth

PRINT  |  E-MAIL
May 3, 2022 —

Pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed—be it parents, students, educators, athletes, or business people—that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.” Why do some people succeed and others fail? Sharing new insights from her landmark research, Angela explains why talent does not guarantee success. She has found that grit—a combination of passion and perseverance for a singularly important goal—is the hallmark of high achievers in every domain.
