GRIT: WHAT IS IT AND HOW TO BUILD IT

ACHIEVE ANY GOAL YOU SET FOR YOURSELF WITH DISCIPLINE, PERSEVERANCE AND MENTAL TOUGHNESS

ABOUT THIS BOOK

Grit is a combination of passion and perseverance. Grit is the ability to hold on to a goal in the face of setbacks. Grit is a very valuable trait to have, especially when you’re going through difficult times.

Grit has become an influential topic since Angela Duckworth was awarded the Mac Arthur ‘Genius’ Grant in 2014 for her research on how grit relates to success. Her studies showed that grit (a combination of passion and perseverance) predicted success better than both IQ and socioeconomic status did.

This is because grit can be developed over time through hard work, persistence, and self-control—qualities you can increase by taking action steps like reading motivational books or joining a community where you will be surrounded by people who support your goals.
