‘This book will change your life.’ Dan Heath, bestselling co-author of Made to Stick and Decisive

Why do some people achieve extraordinary results while others, who are just as talented, fall short?

In her acclaimed, multi-million-copy bestseller, Grit, award-winning psychologist Angela Duckworth takes us on an eye-opening journey to discover the true qualities that lead to success.

Using case studies from her own childhood upbringing to her extensive research studying the psychology of success in sports and business, Duckworth reveals that talent is not what makes humans more likely to succeed. Instead, it’s a powerful combination of passion and perseverance – what she calls ‘grit’.
