Supporting material to enhance your understanding of the original
work About Angela Duckworth's Grit: Psychologist Angela Duckworth
blows the lid off of theories that suggest IQ and socioeconomic
status are the sole predictors of success. Not intellectually
gifted, according to her traditional, Asian-American father,
Duckworth nevertheless became a MacArthur "Genius." Winning the
award led her to reflect upon the qualities that got her there:
perseverance and passion. Interviewing dozens of the world's
winners, Duckworth ventures into the playing fields of achievement,
speaking with CEOs and coaches, and visits West Point, competitive
swim teams, and even the National Spelling Bee to discover the
common threads. Pulling from history, as well as cutting-edge
neuroscience and behavioral science, Grit offers tips and advice
for everyone--from parents to athletes to entrepreneurs--about how
getting gritty can help you to succeed. The summary and analysis in
this book are intended to complement your reading experience and
bring you closer to a great work of nonfiction.
