About this episode
Why do some people succeed while others with equal talent fail? In her groundbreaking bestseller, psychologist and MacArthur "Genius" Grant winner Angela Duckworth proves the secret isn't talent—it's grit. She reveals that outstanding achievement is a product of passion and perseverance, not innate ability. Through captivating research from West Point cadets to National Spelling Bee champions, Duckworth shows how this powerful trait can be learned. This book will fundamentally change how you approach success.
