GRIT- The Power of Passion and Perseverance
University of Pennsylvania professor of psychology and MacArthur Genius Angela Duckworth founded an award-winning summer school for low-income children and created βThe Character Labβ, has advised the World Bank, NFL and NBA teams.
This book goes straight in the help yourself section. With Duckworthβs combination of advices and how to guidance this book is worth a read.
I love the simple and easy to read writing. Each chapter can be seen as a standalone reflection of ideas. There is no need to start from the beginning, you can start from each chapter and go forward. If you want to read the complete book from the beginning to the end, it might be a little bit tedious.
In the book its all about grit, Angela describes with the help of the βGrit-Scaleβ how she can predict someoneβs success. On one example she forecasts who will drop out before the end of the first year at West Point. Quiet exactlyβ¦
Grit is made up of passion and perseverance. If you care about what you do, youβre more likely to keep on going. If you keep doing something you love, youβre likely to grow on loving it more and more. But if you lack either dedication or love, youβll have difficulties getting things done. If you dislike what you do at work day after day, you wonβt care about getting better at it.
Looking for personal growth and life hacks, this book gives you useful hints and tricks.
