Publisher's Summary
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.
Why do naturally talented people frequently fail to reach their potential while other far less gifted individuals go on to achieve amazing things? The secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a passionate persistence. In other words, grit.
MacArthur Genius Award-winning psychologist Angela Duckworth shares fascinating new revelations about who succeeds in life and why. Based on her cutting-edge research, Duckworth shows how many people achieve remarkable things not just by relying on innate natural talent but by practising what she calls grit. She then offers a Grit Formula to help anyone to become grittier, focusing on six key factors: hope, effort, precision, passion, ritual and prioritisation.
She reveals:
- Why people who test high for talent often fail to achieve their potential and why people who do not test high for talent often overachieve what others expect them to do
- How grit can be learned, whatever your IQ or circumstances
- Why stubbornness is a key characteristic of gritty people
- When to be stubborn and when giving up is the grittiest thing you can do
- How gritty people found their passion and you can find yours
- How gritty experts practise and how you can do the same in your own life
- What the people who care about you can do to boost your grit when you need it most
- How grit is cultivated in the highest-performing sports teams, companies and schools
Leaping past clichés such as 'success is all about hard work', Grit offers a fresh and motivating way to climb to heights far beyond what natural talent would predict.

Story
In this stunning audiobook, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers" - the best and the brightest, the most famous, and the most successful. He asks the question: What makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: That is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing.

Very insightful and a great listen.
I gave this book give stars because I loved the effect it left on me, what it taught me and how it made me feel. My deepest gratitude to Ms. Duckworth and her team and thousands of other researchers for their countless hours of work, their curiosity and GRIT in bringing these ideas and thoughts to life in the form of an 8 hour Audio book. Ms. Duckworth fills this book with stories and anecdotes, narrates it beautifully keeling me hooked from start to finish.
I know I will be coming back to this one again.
I recommend this to anyone who feels a bit lost in life and is looking for inspiration and especially if you’re a parent. No matter how old your child is.
