About the book
Angela Duckworth draws on a rich mix of field research and personal experience to reveal how grit can be cultivated. Readers follow cadets in their first grueling days at West Point, meet teachers persevering in challenging schools, and watch young finalists in the National Spelling Bee push themselves to excel. Duckworth combines historical examples, modern experiments in peak performance, and interviews with high achievers — including Jamie Dimon, Bob Mankoff, and Pete Carroll — to build a convincing case that endurance of effort matters more than raw talent.
