ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In "Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance," Angela Duckworth explores the critical role of grit—defined as passion and perseverance for long-term goals—in achieving success. Challenging the conventional emphasis on innate talent, Duckworth argues that grit is a more reliable predictor of achievement.

Through compelling stories and research-backed insights, she reveals how individuals can cultivate grit from the inside out and from the outside in. The book delves into the psychological assets that mature paragons of grit have in common. Duckworth offers a transformative perspective, shifting the focus from fixed abilities to the power of dedication, resilience, and a growth mindset.
