AS SEEN ON THE MEL ROBBINS PODCAST

‘Changed the way that millions of people talk about success’ Mel Robbins

'Masterful…Grit offers a truly sane perspective: that true success comes when we devote ourselves to endeavors that give us joy and purpose.' Arianna Huffington, author of Thrive

In this instant New York Times bestseller, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls 'grit'.

MacArthur Genius Award-winning psychologist Angela Duckworth shares fascinating new revelations about who succeeds in life and why. Based on her cutting-edge research, Duckworth shows how many people achieve remarkable things not just by relying on innate natural talent, but by practising what she calls grit. She then offers a Grit Formula to help anyone to become more gritty, focusing on six key factors: hope, effort, precision, passion, ritual and prioritisation.
She reveals:

• How grit can be learned, regardless of I.Q. or circumstances
• Why stubbornness is a key characteristic of gritty people
• When to be stubborn and when giving up is the grittiest thing you can do
• How gritty people found their passion, and you can find yours
• How grit is cultivated in the highest-performing sports teams, companies and schools

Leaping past clichés such as 'success is all about hard work', Grit offers a fresh and motivating way to climb to heights far beyond what natural talent would predict.
