Grit

352 pages, 2016

Takeaways
Description
According to Angela Duckworth in the best-selling book Grit, grit actually matters more than talent in the long run and is a predictor of success measured in success stories. We’d like to believe in hard work more than in talent, but we’re conditioned to believe in the opposite. Grit describes what goes into incredible personal achievements across various fields and what you can do to cultivate it in your own life. Our potential is one thing. What we do with it is quite another.
