Why resilience and single-mindedness are the keys to outstanding achievement and how they can help you to accomplish remarkable things.
Why do naturally talented people frequently fail to reach their potential while other far less gifted individuals go on to achieve amazing things? The secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, but a passionate persistence. In other words, grit.
MacArthur Genius Award-winning psychologist Angela Duckworth shares fascinating new revelations about who succeeds in life and why. Based on her cutting-edge research, Duckworth shows how many people achieve remarkable things not just by relying on innate natural talent, but by practising what she calls grit. She then offers a Grit Formula to help anyone to become more gritty, focusing on six key factors: hope, effort, precision, passion, ritual and prioritisation.
She reveals:
Why people who test high for talent often fail to achieve their potential, and why people who do not test high for talent often "overachieve" what others expect them to do
How grit can be learned, whatever your IQ or circumstances
Why stubbornness is a key characteristic of gritty people
When to be stubborn and when giving up is the grittiest thing you can do
How gritty people found their passion, and you can find yours
How gritty experts practise, and how you can do the same in your own life
What the people who care about you can do to boost your grit when you need it most
How grit is cultivated in the highest-performing sports teams, companies and schools
Leaping past clichés such as ´success is all about hard work´, Grit offers a fresh and motivating way to climb to heights far beyond what natural talent would predict.
About the Author
Dr Angela Duckworth is a 2013 MacArthur Fellow and an associate professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. She is an expert in non-IQ competencies, including grit and self-control. A highly sought-after international speaker, her TED talk on grit has been viewed by over 8 million people.
Duckworth’s hypothesis that the real guarantor of success may not be inborn talent but a special blend of resilience and single-mindedness grew out of her upbringing: as a child her scientist father lovingly bemoaned the fact his daughter was ‘no genius’. Duckworth was determined to prove him wrong and spent her youth smashing through every academic barrier. As an adult she became focused on proving her theory and to find out if grit can be learned or cultivated. It was out of this that she created her own Character Lab at the University of Pennsylvania.
