📖 peek insideGrit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance
by Angela Duckworth
Psychologist Angela Duckworth explores why some people succeed while others fail, arguing that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls 'grit.' Drawing on her own powerful story as a researcher and teacher, she visits cadets at West Point and finalists in the National Spelling Bee to show that what we eventually accomplish depends more on our passion and perseverance than on our innate IQ. It is a transformative read for parents and leaders.
