Product details
The daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of “genius,” Angela Duckworth is now a celebrated researcher and professor. It was her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience that led to her hypothesis about what really drives success: not genius, but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance.
In Grit, she takes us into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, teachers working in some of the toughest schools, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she’s learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers—from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll.

Key Features
Here are the main lessons from the book:
1. Talent vs. Effort
Talent matters, but effort counts more.
Effort applied consistently over time beats raw ability.
2. Passion and Perseverance
Passion gives you direction; perseverance helps you stay the course.
Grit is about sticking with your goals through boredom, setbacks, and challenges.
3. Growth Mindset
People who believe abilities can be developed (not fixed) push harder, learn more, and persist longer.
Failures are not a measure of permanent inability but steps toward improvement.
4. Purpose Matters
People who connect their work to a bigger purpose (helping others, making an impact) are more resilient.
Meaning fuels perseverance.
5. Practice and Mastery
“Deliberate practice” (focused, effortful practice with feedback) is essential to mastery.
Small, consistent improvements compound into expertise.
6. Hope and Resilience
Hope isn’t just wishing—it’s believing your efforts will improve your future.
Optimism helps you recover from failure and keep going.
7. Culture of Grit
Surrounding yourself with gritty people, teams, or communities reinforces persistence.
Environments shape how much grit we display.
