Description
Summary:"In Grit, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth showed parents, students, educators, athletes and businesspeople--both seasoned and new--that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls "grit." Now, she tackles the difficult challenge of making change and shows how the secrets to lasting personal growth are not where we usually look. Your situation can be as powerful as your genes in determining everything you think, feel, say and do. You'll learn why the psychological pull of your situation is as strong as gravity--and just as invisible. Most important, you'll learn how to recognize the situations that bring out your best, and your worst, and how to make the power of situation work for you."--
