Summary of Grit - Instaread Summaries
Overview
In Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, Angela Duckworth discusses her research into the characteristics of successful people. She argues that innate talent is less important to success than the willingness to persevere despite difficulty and initial failure.
People tend to believe that innate ability is the most important determinant of success and achievement.
