"This book will change your life. Fascinating, rigorous, and practical, Grit is destined to be a classic in the literature of success." -- Dan Heath, co-author of Made to Stick , Switch , and Decisive, "Empowering...Angela Duckworth compels attention with her idea that regular individuals who exercise self-control and perseverance can reach as high as those who are naturally talented--that your mindset is as important as your mind." -- Soledad O'Brien, Chairman of Starfish MediaGroup and former co-anchor of CNN's "American Morning", "Engaging...With strong appeal for readers of Daniel H. Pink, Malcolm Gladwell, and Susan Cain, this is a must-have." -Booklist, "Fascinating. Angela Duckworth pulls together decades of psychological research, inspiring success stories from business and sports, and her own unique personal experience and distills it all into a set of practical strategies to make yourself and your children more motivated, more passionate, and more persistent at work and at school." - Paul Tough, author of How Children Succeed, " Grit is a persuasive and fascinating response to the cult of IQ fundamentalism. Duckworth reminds us that it is character and perseverance that set the successful apart." - Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point, Blink, and Outliers, "I kept wanting to read this book aloud--to my child, my husband, to everyone I care about. There are no shortcuts to greatness, it's true. But there is a roadmap, and you are holding it." -- Amanda Ripley, author of The Smartest Kids in the World: And How They Got That Way, "This book will change your life. Fascinating, rigorous, and practical, Grit is destined to be a classic in the literature of success." -- Dan Heath, co-author of The Power of Moments, Made to Stick , Switch , and Decisive, "Readable, compelling and totally persuasive. The ideas in this book have the potential to transform education, management and the way its readers live. Angela Duckworth's Grit is a national treasure." -- Lawrence H. Summers, Former Secretary of the Treasury and President Emeritus at Harvard University, "Empowering…Angela Duckworth compels attention with her idea that regular individuals who exercise self-control and perseverance can reach as high as those who are naturally talented-that your mindset is as important as your mind." - Soledad O'Brien, Chairman of Starfish MediaGroup and former co-anchor of CNN's "American Morning", "[Have] no doubt: Grit is great. It's a lucid, informative, and entertaining review of the research Angela has assiduously conducted over the past decade or so. The book also includes suggestions on how to develop grit, and how we can help support grit in others. There are few people who wouldn't learn something from this book." -- Scientific American (blog), " Grit is a useful guide for parents or teachers looking for confirmation that passion and persistence matter, and for inspiring models of how to cultivate these important qualities." --The Washington Post, "A combination of rich science, compelling stories, crisp graceful prose, and appealingly personal examples...Without a doubt, this is the most transformative, eye-opening book I've read this year." -- Sonja Lyubomirsky, Professor, University of California, Riverside and author of The How of Happiness, "This book will change your life. Fascinating, rigorous, and practical, Grit is destined to be a classic in the literature of success." - Dan Heath, co-author of Made to Stick , Switch , and Decisive, "Duckworth is the researcher most associated with the study and popularization of grit. And yet what I like about her new book, Grit, is the way she is pulling away from the narrow, joyless intonations of that word, and pointing us beyond the way many schools are now teaching it...Most important, she notes that the quality of our longing matters. Gritty people are resilient and hard working, sure. But they also, she writes, know in a very, very deep way what it is they want." --David Brooks, New York Times, "This book gets into your head, which is where it belongs...For educators who want our kids to succeed, this is an indispensable read." -- Joel Klein, former Chancellor, New York City public schools, "A fascinating tour of the psychological research on success...A great service of Ms. Duckworth's book is her down-to-earth definition of passion. To be gritty, an individual doesn't need to have an obsessive infatuation with a goal. Rather, he needs to show 'consistency over time.' The grittiest people have developed long-term goals and are constantly working toward them." -The Wall Street Journal, "A thoughtful and engaging exploration of what predicts success. Grit takes on widespread misconceptions and predictors of what makes us strive harder and push further...Duckworth's own story, wound throughout her research, ends up demonstrating her theory best; passion and perseverance make up grit." -- Tory Burch, Chairman, CEO and Designer of Tory Burch, "[Blends] anecdote and science, statistic and yarn...Not your grandpa's self-help book, but Duckworth's text is oddly encouraging, exhorting us to do better by trying harder, and a pleasure to read." -Kirkus Reviews, "Masterful… Grit offers a truly sane perspective: that true success comes when we devote ourselves to endeavors that give us joy and purpose." - Arianna Huffington, author of Thrive, "Invaluable…In a world where access to knowledge is unprecedented, this book describes the key trait of those who will optimally take advantage of it. Grit will inspire everyone who reads it to stick to something hard that they have a passion for." - Sal Khan, founder of Khan Academy, "I kept wanting to read this book aloud-to my child, my husband, to everyone I care about. There are no shortcuts to greatness, it's true. But there is a roadmap, and you are holding it." - Amanda Ripley, author of The Smartest Kids in the World: And How They Got That Way, "Enlightening... Grit teaches that life's high peaks aren't necessarily conquered by the naturally nimble but, rather, by those willing to endure, wait out the storm, and try again." -- Ed Viesturs, Seven-Time Climber of Mount Everest and author of No Shortcuts to the Top, "I'm convinced there are no more important qualities in striving for excellence than those that create true grit...I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did." - Brad Stevens, Coach of the Boston Celtics, "This book gets into your head, which is where it belongs…For educators who want our kids to succeed, this is an indispensable read." - Joel Klein, former Chancellor, New York City public schools, "Imagine that: a Philadelphia psychology professor setting the education world on fire with a one-syllable noun that just happens to define the city she currently calls home....Her book gives cause for hope and an immediate path to action." -- Philly.com, "A contemporary classic--a clarifying and deeply-researched book in the tradition of Stephen Covey and Carol Dweck. For anyone hoping to work smarter or live better, Grit is an essential--and perhaps life-changing--read." --Daniel H. Pink, New York Times- bestselling author of When, Drive, and To Sell Is Human, "Impressively fresh and original… Grit scrubs away preconceptions about how far our potential can take us." - Susan Cain, author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, "I love an idea that challenges our conventional wisdom and 'grit' does just that! Put aside what you think you know about getting ahead and outlasting your competition, even if they are more talented. Getting smarter won't help you-sticking with it, will!" - Simon Sinek, author of Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last, "Invaluable...In a world where access to knowledge is unprecedented, this book describes the key trait of those who will optimally take advantage of it.

In this smart and lively book, she not only tells us what it is, but also how to get it." -- Daniel Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness, "[Blends] anecdote and science, statistic and yarn...Not your grandpa's self-help book, but Duckworth's text is oddly encouraging, exhorting us to do better by trying harder, and a pleasure to read." --Kirkus Reviews, "Enlightening… Grit teaches that life's high peaks aren't necessarily conquered by the naturally nimble but, rather, by those willing to endure, wait out the storm, and try again." - Ed Viesturs, Seven-Time Climber of Mount Everest and author of No Shortcuts to the Top, "Profoundly important.

Synopsis
"Why do some people succeed and others fail? Sharing new insights from her landmark research on grit, MacArthur genius grant recipient Angela Duckworth explains why talent is hardly a guarantor of success. Rather, other factors can be even more crucial, such as identifying our passions and following through on our commitments. Drawing on her own story as the daughter of a scientist who frequently bemoaned her lack of smarts, Duckworth describes her winding path through teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience, which led to the hypothesis that what really drives success is not "genius" but a special blend of passion and long-term perseverance. As a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Duckworth created her own "character lab" and set out to test her theory. Here, she takes readers into the field to visit teachers working in some of the toughest schools, cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. Finally, she shares what she's learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers--from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to Bob Mankoff, cartoon editor of The New Yorker, to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll. 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"-- provided by publisher, In this instant New York Times bestseller, Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls "grit." "Inspiration for non-geniuses everywhere" ( People ). 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) .
