Grit by Angela Duckworth

Synopsis

Some talented people never reach their full potential. Why is that? There are those for whom greatness is not a destiny, but a destination reached solely by the power of their own unwavering spirit and sheer determination. From a young age, many of us are taught to believe that natural talent is the single most important ingredient for achieving success in life, but consider that what we know is merely the surface of the truth, and the full story we have yet to see is the one that changes everything. Just imagine for a moment that all the hard work and dedication you pour into everything was actually worth double what you ever thought it could be.

Angela Duckworth's book Grit presents a truly powerful idea that has changed how we think about achievement and the dedication it takes to succeed. Effort is the essential first step that allows you to build a genuine skill, and then that same dedication is what ultimately multiplies your talent because it's your effort that makes the difference, that driving force that takes an inherent skill and helps you achieve your most important goals. The simple truth is that genuine hard work acts as the most powerful multiplier for your success. Transforming all your dedication into real achievement.
