Why do some people achieve extraordinary results while others, who are just as talented, fall short?

In her acclaimed, multi-million-copy bestseller, Grit, award-winning psychologist Angela Duckworth takes us on an eye-opening journey to discover the true qualities that lead to success.

Using case studies from her own childhood upbringing to her extensive research studying the psychology of success in sports and business, Duckworth reveals that talent is not what makes humans more likely to succeed. Instead, it’s a powerful combination of passion and perseverance – what she calls ‘grit’.

Drawing on cutting-edge research and real-world stories, Grit reveals:

  • What ‘grit’ is and why it matters
  • How grit can be learned, regardless of IQ or circumstances
  • Why stubbornness is a key characteristic of gritty people
  • How to develop lifelong purpose and passion
  • And so much more


Personal, powerful, and empowering, Grit is the inspiring and practical guide that will show you how to develop the resilience, focus and determination needed to succeed.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr Angela Duckworth is a 2013 MacArthur Fellow and an associate professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. She is an expert in non-IQ competencies, including grit and self-control. A highly sought-after international speaker, her TED talk on grit has been viewed by over 10 million people.

Duckworth’s hypothesis that the real guarantor of success may not be inborn talent but a special blend of resilience and single-mindedness grew out of her upbringing: as a child her scientist father lovingly bemoaned the fact his daughter was ‘no genius’. Duckworth was determined to prove him wrong and spent her youth smashing through every academic barrier. As an adult she became focused on proving her theory and to find out if grit can be learned or cultivated. It was out of this that she created her own Character Lab at the University of Pennsylvania.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

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 more gritty, focusing on six key factors: hope, effort, precision, passion, ritual and prioritisation.
