520 |a Why do some people succeed and others fail? Sharing new insights from her landmark research on grit, MacArthur genius Angela Duckworth explains why talent is hardly a guarantor of success. Rather, other factors can be even more crucial such as identifying passions and following through on commitments.

As a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Duckworth created her own character lab and set out to test her theory.
