Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance

byAngela Duckworth

In Grit, Angela Duckworth presents a social inquiry centered on the Power of Passion and Perseverance. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the connected fields of psychology and self – help. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant. Historical context and individual experience remain equally important to the book's explanation.
