The power of passion and perseverance (grit)
$7.00 USD
Why do naturally gifted people frequently fail to reach their potential while others with far less talent go on to achieve amazing things? In this must-read book for anyone striving to succeed, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls 'grit'. Based on cutting-edge research, interviews with high achievers and her own powerful story, Duckworth shows how our inclination to revere natural talent is misguided: in terms of achievement, the effort we put in and our reaction to set-backs count for far more. She then explains how grit is something that can be learned and offers a new formula for outstanding individual and collective success. Grit is a persuasive and fascinating response to the cult of IQ fundamentalism. Fascinating, rigorous, and practical, Grit is destined to be a classic in the literature of success.
