Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance

Author: Angela Duckworth

Drawing from her own experiences and extensive research, she argues that the true predictor of achievement is a unique blend of passion and perseverance. Duckworth’s engaging storytelling weaves together scientific studies, personal anecdotes, and interviews with high achievers, offering readers a compelling look at why some people succeed while others fall short. Her insights will leave you pondering your own “grit score” and inspired to cultivate this powerful trait in your life.

Enthusiasm is common. Endurance is rare.
