by Malcolm Gladwell
Angela Duckworth shows that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls "grit." Drawing on her own research and stories from West Point cadets to National Spelling Bee finalists, she reveals what makes people stick with their goals.
Malcolm Gladwell examines the factors that contribute to high levels of success, arguing that talent alone doesn't explain achievement. From the 10,000-hour rule to the importance of birth dates and cultural legacies, Gladwell redefines what it means to earn your way to the top.
