In this instant New York Times bestseller, Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.” “Inspiration for non-geniuses everywhere” (People).

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.

“Duckworth’s ideas about the cultivation of tenacity have clearly changed some lives for the better” (The New York Times Book Review). Among Grit’s most valuable insights: any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal; grit can be learned, regardless of IQ or circumstances; when it comes to child-rearing, neither a warm embrace nor high standards will work by themselves; how to trigger lifelong interest; the magic of the Hard Thing Rule; and so much more. 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. This is “a fascinating tour of the psychological research on success” (The Wall Street Journal).

Amazed... and it's only the second chapter!

Grit was a book I heard a lot about in different places, and now I know why. We as people tend to believe that our goals, passions and fulfillment will fall from the sky and everything will click into place. Angela offers a very different perspective. Passion and fulfillment are developed overtime through effort. This flies in the face of convention, and it's wonderful. This relieves all the pressure to figure out what your about right now, and why can't figure out what your passionate about, because it's something that is developed. It starts with a spark and is then developed through hardwork. Talent is often overrated and this book provides a good amount of evidence to support this claim.

Must Read for anybody trying to find their way

Good stuff. Playing at slightly faster speed than authors normal rate increases the pump factor for thinking about your life and Grit. Is not too fast to be weird.
