‘This book will change your life.’ Dan Heath, bestselling co-author of Made to Stick and Decisive
Why do some people achieve extraordinary results while others, who are just as talented, fall short?
In her acclaimed, multi-million-copy bestseller, Grit, award-winning psychologist Angela Duckworth takes us on an eye-opening journey to discover the true qualities that lead to success.
Using case studies from her own childhood upbringing to her extensive research studying the psychology of success in sports and business, Duckworth reveals that talent is not what makes humans more likely to succeed. Instead, it’s a powerful combination of passion and perseverance – what she calls ‘grit’.
Drawing on cutting-edge research and real-world stories, Grit reveals:
- What ‘grit’ is and why it matters
- How grit can be learned, regardless of IQ or circumstances
- Why stubbornness is a key characteristic of gritty people
- How to develop lifelong purpose and passion
- And so much more
Personal, powerful, and empowering, Grit is the inspiring and practical guide that will show you how to develop the resilience, focus and determination needed to succeed.
Praise for GRIT:

'Impressively fresh and original' Susan Cain, bestselling author of Quiet
‘With a mix of masterful storytelling and the latest science, she shows that perseverance and passion matter at least as much as talent and intelligence.’ Arianna Huffington, bestselling author of Thrive
‘Utterly captivating, inspiring and original… Once you pick up GRIT, you won't be able to tear yourself away.’ Amy Cuddy, Harvard Business School professor and author of Presence

About the Author
Dr Angela Duckworth is a 2013 MacArthur Fellow and an associate professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. She is an expert in non-IQ competencies, including grit and self-control. A highly sought-after international speaker, her TED talk on grit has been viewed by over 10 million people.
Duckworth’s hypothesis that the real guarantor of success may not be inborn talent but a special blend of resilience and single-mindedness grew out of her upbringing: as a child her scientist father lovingly bemoaned the fact his daughter was ‘no genius’. Duckworth was determined to prove him wrong and spent her youth smashing through every academic barrier. As an adult she became focused on proving her theory and to find out if grit can be learned or cultivated. It was out of this that she created her own Character Lab at the University of Pennsylvania.
