Her book, Grit, distills what she has learned about the importance of effort to the attainment of success. It solves the mystery of why some people can work harder and longer while others fall to the wayside.The Book’s Main IdeaAs suggested by the title of the book, Grit, a combination of passion and resilience, is the main idea behind the book.“Enthusiasm is common. Endurance is rare.” Angela DuckworthA look at the main ideas shared in the bookGrit is a research-centric book. Here are the main ideas behind it:1: Grit and why it matters (more than anything)“Our potential is one thing. What we do with it is quite another.” Angela DuckworthAngela Duckworth defines Grit as a combination of passion, feeling intimately driven towards a specific achievement, or rather, the ability to pursue one goal over time, and perseverance, the ability to overcome challenges, put in the work, and to finish the things you start. She notes that passion and enthusiasm are not the same; passion is endurance.“....Grit is about working on something you care about so much that you're willing to stay loyal to it...it's doing what you love, but not just falling in love―staying in love.” Angela DuckworthGrit is a predictor of success. Given two people who have the same amount of talent but where one is grittier, the grittier person will be more successful. This does not negate the importance of IQ or talent. On the contrary, Angela notes that both IQ and talent are important success factors. However, on their own, they are insufficient success/achievement catalysts.To get the most of IQ or talent, you must couple it with GRIT, passionate and consistent hard work over time. If you lack talent or a high IQ but have an undying passion for your aim/work and the ability to work and persevere through everything, you are far more likely to succeed—vis-a-vis someone who has talent or high IQ but is not a diligent worker.“As much as talent counts, effort counts twice.” Angela DuckworthOn the importance of Grit, from her interviews with a broad spectrum of successful people including writers, athletes, musicians, and politicians, Angela Duckworth created two equations that show the important relationship between talent and effort and why effort trumps talent.She noted that to achieve any aim, you need the right set of skill. Mastery or achievement, which is the measure of true success, comes from practicing the skills after the fact.2: On Developing gritBeing a self-development book, Grit by Angela Duckworth is both data-centric and actionable. She goes out of her way to illustrate how anyone can become grittier. She does this by mentioning that grit has four main characteristics.(1) Interest, a deep love for what you are doing/pursuing and (2) Practice, improving bit by bit so “…that doing one thing better and better might be more satisfying than staying an amateur at many different things….” (3) Purpose, a strong belief in the importance of what you are doing, and (4) hope, believing that you will overcome challenges that arise as you pursue and practice your interests and purpose.“I won’t just have a job; I’ll have a calling. I’ll challenge myself every day. When I get knocked down, I’ll get back up. I may not be the smartest person in the room, but I’ll strive to be the grittiest.” Angela DuckworthGrit develops as we go about living life, learning important lessons that mold our beliefs and philosophies, from overcoming challenges and dealing with failures and disappointments, a principle she dubs the maturity principle, of which she notes:“Over time, we learn life lessons we don’t forget, and we adapt in response to the growing demands of our circumstances. Eventually, new ways of thinking and acting become habitual. There comes a day when we can hardly remember our immature former selves. We have adapted, those adaptations have become durable, and, finally, our identity—the sort of person we see ourselves to be—has evolved. We’ve matured.” Angela DuckworthConclusionGrit is an invaluable asset that we can all learn to develop, as long as we take it a step at a time.“At the start of an endeavor, we need encouragement and freedom to figure out what we enjoy. We need small wins. We need applause. Yes, we can handle a tincture of criticism and corrective feedback. Yes, we need to practice. But not too much and not too soon. Rush a beginner and you’ll bludgeon their budding interest. It’s very, very hard to get that back once you do.” Angela DuckworthI hope that was useful, have a great day!I release new videos often, if you’re interested in subscribing here’s a link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfbLDMh6uGOZePAfqqjVZ-g?sub_confirmation=1I've made over 60 summaries of the best self improvement books, the links are below.Full playlist of them all here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOImyOGN9UE&list=PLaNTB6oQAa0AYuul0tqUscg1ZLj_arZgaHere are the links:Make Your Bed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7mBNcI2H1c The power of the subconscious mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNi9zDGaZtw Getting things done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCNN2pyO5Yc The power of intention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ezM3fIKHTY Deep work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SOQpjHKESA The magic of thinking big: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdQRQ82AED8 The alchemist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcQjBghtxMU Blink: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rie9Pkp4Ktk Atomic Habits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6u0X0CDEqU The E-Myth Revisited: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctHTVZRnE7g Mindset: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QU5Q3lyTqo The art of war: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_5qhA2y-E4 Rework: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsaZU-HW18k The lean startup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6QPZp--lJE The hard thing about hard things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl_Q3E5d33U Crush it!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onbmkc-29KI Delivering Happiness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiUWCZkHbA8 The personal MBA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFpXccN3YEU The $100 startup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqa1LqahOLE Zero to One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGtQjkSUahc Grit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doUSy1Eo76s Start with why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgMnlf4jcYY The compound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nSIiAMnDY0 The Prince: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzVmhWFdwBQ The willpower instinct: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz5EXLYxWDQ The slight edge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sItMk2xS_ZU Meditations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul2nuHOnCPI Who moved my cheese?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQhJkIPHiyw The One Thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cS5lgHhbUoM The richest man in babylon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbnHlWFnWLs The power of habit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d366w-o8nhA Secrets of the millionaire mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1WjeoCw30g The 6 pillars of self esteem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5NRiB_-w10 The 7 Habits of Highly Effective people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nGzZ9m_Xsg Thinking Fast and Slow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqw9dwxiKSw The 4 hour work week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCWzSlAqO0g The power of positive thinking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAdxM_19KBc The power of now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa7mAlLhD3w Think and grow rich: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btQNKjSy8Ww 12 rules of life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9InBOOy1eTU The 5 love languages: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPq4Vxh74jY Rich Dad Poor Dad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV31Wpr2Fl8 How to win friends and influence people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s61o8y22BpM The inside out revolution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68OwvuqZEGo Models: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs0d7Da8ufo Man’s search for meaning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyXFQ5W0bMk The subtle art of not giving a fuck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOImyOGN9UE How to stop worrying and start living: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUQXrEk52Ug The millionaire fastlane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrtjXONWVfA 5 extremely powerful techniques to master motivation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmRzDIisUeM Quiet by Susan Cain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzRcYLq63dU Extreme Ownership: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMWeEyqWHe0 see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
