Grit

"Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance" by Angela Duckworth is a transformative exploration of what drives success in various fields, from academics to sports to business. Duckworth, a psychologist and MacArthur Fellow, argues that while talent and intelligence are important, it's grit – a combination of passion and perseverance – that ultimately leads to achievement.

She emphasizes the importance of having a clear goal or passion and then consistently putting in effort over the long term, even in the face of setbacks and adversity.

Throughout the book, Duckworth provides practical advice and strategies for developing grit, whether it's fostering a growth mindset, setting deliberate practice routines, or cultivating a resilient attitude towards failure.

"Grit" challenges conventional notions of success and offers a compelling argument for the power of perseverance in reaching one's goals. It's a motivating read for anyone seeking to excel in their endeavors, whether personal or professional.
