Publisher’s Description
In this must-read book for anyone striving to succeed, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows parents, educators, students, and business people both seasoned and new that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a focused persistence called grit.
Quotes from Grit
Enthusiasm is common. Endurance is rare.
Our potential is one thing. What we do with it is quite another.
As much as talent counts, effort counts twice.
