In Grit, Angela Duckworth explores the idea that success is not driven by talent, but by a combination of passion and persistence. Drawing from her own experiences, she visits West Point cadets, teachers in tough schools, and finalists in the National Spelling Bee, and interviews a variety of high achievers to illustrate her hypothesis. In this book, readers will learn how effort counts twice towards a goal, that grit can be learned, and how to trigger lifelong interest. Grit offers valuable insights on how to achieve success in life.
