Description

What is the secret to success? The key to success is not talent or luck, as we've often been led to believe. The secret to success is a mix of passion, perseverance, and courage: "grit." Angela Duckworth, a professor of psychology and a pioneer in her field, has revolutionized the cultural and scientific understanding of what it takes to succeed in life. Through scientifically-backed studies, she demonstrates that success in life is less about intelligence and more about self-control, determination, and the ability to get back up after falling. Her work offers hope by showing that grit can be cultivated and that anyone can achieve excellence by nurturing these qualities.
