Grit
The Power of Passion and Perseverance
Sustained passion and perseverance beat raw talent.
Angela Duckworth argues that the key to high achievement is not talent but grit, the combination of passion and sustained perseverance toward long-term goals. She draws on her research and interviews with high achievers to show how grit develops and can be cultivated. The book covers the roles of practice, purpose, and hope in staying the course.
Building a company is a marathon of setbacks where talent matters far less than the ability to persist. Duckworth's research gives founders a framework for sustaining their own drive and identifying perseverance in the people they hire.
