About the book:

\n\n

In this instant \;New York Times \;bestseller\, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed&mdash\;be it parents\, students\, educators\, athletes\, or business people&mdash\;that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls &ldquo\;grit.&rdquo\;

\n\n

Why do some people succeed and others fail? Sharing new insights from her landmark research\, Angela explains why talent is hardly a guarantor of success.

\n\n

Angela has found that grit&mdash\;a \;combination of passion and perseverance for a singularly important \;goal&mdash\;is the hallmark of high achievers in every domain. She&rsquo\;s also found scientific evidence that grit can grow.

\n\n

Angela \;gives a first-person account of her research with \;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.

Winningly personal\, insightful\, and even life-changing\, \;Grit \;is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down\, and how \;that&mdash\;not talent or luck&mdash\;makes all the difference.
