Grit
By Angela Duckworth
Categories: Business & Money
Psychologist Angela Duckworth argues that outstanding achievement comes less from talent than from grit, a blend of passion and long-term perseverance. Drawing on her research at the University of Pennsylvania and her own path through teaching, business consulting and neuroscience, Duckworth visits West Point cadets, teachers in tough schools and National Spelling Bee finalists. She explains how grit can be grown from the inside out, and how parents, teachers and coaches can encourage it in others.
