About Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance
Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance is an instant New York Times bestseller by Angela Duckworth, offering a groundbreaking look into the psychology of success. Duckworth shows that the secret to achieving outstanding success is not innate talent, but a unique combination of passion and persistence, which she refers to as “grit.” For anyone striving to succeed, this book provides a powerful message: with enough passion and perseverance, greatness is within reach.
Angela Duckworth, the daughter of a scientist who often noted her lack of “genius,” is now a celebrated researcher and professor. Her personal experiences in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience led her to form the hypothesis that it’s not genius, but grit—passion and long-term perseverance—that drives true success. Duckworth’s research has changed the way we understand success psychology, revealing that effort, not talent, is the true key to achievement.
In Grit, Duckworth takes readers on a fascinating journey, sharing insights from her fieldwork with cadets at West Point, teachers in challenging schools, and finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also explores the histories of famous figures and modern experiments in peak performance. Drawing on interviews with high achievers like JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon, New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff, and Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll, Duckworth uncovers valuable lessons on motivation, tenacity, and self-discipline.
