Angela Duckworth with Amy Cuddy: The Power of Passion and Perseverance

Why do some people succeed and others fail? Sharing new insights from her landmark research, Angela Duckworth explains why talent is hardly a guarantor of success. Rather, the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a focused persistence called "grit." To succeed, we must identify our passions and follow through on our commitments.

Drawing on her own powerful story as the daughter of a scientist who frequently bemoaned her lack of smarts, Duckworth describes her winding path through teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience, which led to the hypothesis that what really drives success is not "genius" but a special blend of passion and long-term perseverance. As a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Duckworth created her own "character lab" and set out to test her theory.

I've been a fan of Dr. Angela Duckworth since I watched her on TED Talk. She's a genius! And, I admire her articulation skills.

Dr Duckworth book helped me not to go into negative loop in my darkest and challenging time. I hope I’ll be able to see her one day and show her and thank her most of all that I became who I am aspiring to be

About this correlation of grit and happiness and the hypothesis that grit may lead to happiness:.... could it not be the other way round that happier people are grittier, for example because they feel less devalued by failure and have less to lose, or they simply have more energy,   or they are less mentally absorbed by abusive relationships?

I wonder if its possible to have both growth mindset and a fixed mindset at the same time

Glad to finally see someone commenting on how hot she is. I have to admit that's what led me to watch her videos in the first place.
