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) . Review: Great Read - A reminder of how grit plays a key role in building character and success across all the spheres of life. Review: Change is in your hands - At the outset I want to tell to those parents and teachers who worry about their lesser talented children. Here is Grit by Angela Duckworth, which is a hope for them. The book is about zeal and hard work in achievement of goal. The author in her research on children found that the I.Q. a gold standard for prediction of intellectual excellence falls short when one works with passion and persistence. In other words, the lesser talented children putting hard work in their studies perform better than the talented children. Her research adds something important to the repertoire of positive psychology, a solid core to achieve a goal in life. It is more substantial than the hollow concept of happiness. Grit is an antidote for those who feel lesser talented; studies show that with hard work and perseverance they can trump the more talented. Duckworth provided a new vision for dropout problem in schools, especially in the developed world. There was nothing wrong with the school and the teachers, rather the problem was the ‘character’ of the students dropping out: disregard for norms and carelessness to work. Passion, Duckworth says, is working toward goal in abiding, loyal and steady way. Grit allows one to be at the top level for a long time, and is accompanied by feeling of joy. Grittier people experience more flow. Let me propose that they develop qualities of people engaging in nishkama karma. One remains in problem solving mode, so improving his/her skill, choosing goals after thorough deliberations. Grittier children, research says, work harder and enjoy it. This is startling, cherishing rewards of labour. More astonishing is the finding that people suffering set-backs, when engage in some work with passion and greater effort, not only are able to bear the pain, they excel from normal people. The hope for these people lies in their expectation that “our own efforts can improve our future.” This finding of Duckworth supports the work of her mentor Martin Seligman, a pioneer in helplessness theory of depression, and today leading the positive psychology movement. Those who are not ready to give up in face of formidable problems, have key to success in their cognition. In other words, it is learning from adversity in life. Above all, Duckworth through her impeccable researches, narrated beautifully in the book, shows that grit allows one feel that “one can really change.” It is a novel way towards “growth mindsets.” If I may conclude, my karma, the effort I put to my work, is my life. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #86,157 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #44 in Motivational Self-Help #104 in Business & Economics #162 in Personal Transformation | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 19,977 Reviews | ## Images ![Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ke1gECBxL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Read *by H***H on 13 June 2026* A reminder of how grit plays a key role in building character and success across all the spheres of life. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Change is in your hands *by R***A on 18 November 2022* At the outset I want to tell to those parents and teachers who worry about their lesser talented children.
