To be gritty, an individual doesn't need to have an obsessive infatuation with a goal. Rather, he needs to show 'consistency over time.' The grittiest people have developed long-term goals and are constantly working toward them.--The Wall Street JournalAn informative and inspiring contribution to the literature of success.--Publishers WeeklyAngela Duckworth [is] the psychologist who has made 'grit' the reigning buzzword in education-policy circles...Duckworth's ideas about the cultivation of tenacity have clearly changed some lives for the better...In this book, Duckworth, whose TED talk has been viewed more than eight million times, brings her lessons to the reading public.--Judith Shulevitz, The New York Times Book ReviewEngaging...With strong appeal for readers of Daniel H. Pink, Malcolm Gladwell, and Susan Cain, this is a must-have.--BooklistIf you have recently bumped into that word, grit, Duckworth is the reason...In education and parenting circles, her research has provided a much needed antipode to hovering, by which children are systematically deprived of the opportunity to experience setbacks, much less overcome them...What sticks with you [in Grit] are the testimonials, collected from sources as disparate as Will Smith, William James, and Jeff Bezos's mom, that relentlessly deflate the myth of the natural.--The AtlanticIt really isn't talent but practice--along with passion--that makes perfect, explains psychologist Duckworth in this illuminating book. Inspiration for non-geniuses everywhere.--PeopleOne of The Hottest Spring Nonfiction Books--The Wall Street Journal"This book will change your life. Fascinating, rigorous, and practical, Grit is destined to be a classic in the literature of success."--Dan Heath, co-author of Made to Stick, Switch, and Decisive"A contemporary classic--a clarifying and deeply-researched book in the tradition of Stephen Covey and Carol Dweck. For anyone hoping to work smarter or live better, Grit is an essential--and perhaps life-changing--read." --Daniel H. Pink, New York Times-bestselling author of When, Drive, and To Sell Is Human"Grit delivers! Angela Duckworth shares the stories, the science, and the positivity behind sustained success...A must-read."--Barbara Fredrickson, author of Positivity and Love 2.0 and President of the International Positive Psychology Association"Grit delves into the personal ingredients of great success. It's worth reading...the gist is that talent and skill are less valuable than effort." --Andrew Ross Sorkin, TheNew York Times"Grit is a pop-psych smash." --The New Yorker"Grit is a persuasive and fascinating response to the cult of IQ fundamentalism. Duckworth reminds us that it is character and perseverance that set the successful apart."--Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point, Blink, and Outliers"[Have] no doubt: Grit is great. It's a lucid, informative, and entertaining review of the research Angela has assiduously conducted over the past decade or so. The book also includes suggestions on how to develop grit, and how we can help support grit in others. There are few people who wouldn't learn something from this book." --Scientific American (blog)"
