Grit by Angela Duckworth

Grit reveals that long-term success is driven less by talent or IQ and more by a combination of passion and perseverance. Psychologist Angela Duckworth demonstrates that effort counts twice as much as skill when developing talent into achievement. Through extensive research across military cadets, spelling bee champions, and corporate leaders, she shows that passion provides sustained direction while perseverance supplies the resilience needed to overcome setbacks and achieve greatness.
