In
this instant New York Times bestseller, 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.”Drawing on her own powerful story as the daughter of a
scientist who frequently noted her lack of “genius,” Duckworth, now a
celebrated researcher and professor, describes her early eye-opening
stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience, which led to
the hypothesis that what really drives success is not “genius” but a
unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance.
