Angela Duckworth, PhD, is a 2013 MacArthur Fellow and professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. She has advised the White House, the World Bank, NBA and NFL teams, and Fortune 500 CEOs. She is also the Founder and Scientific Director of the Character Lab, a nonprofit whose mission is to advance the science and practice of character development. She completed her BA in neurobiology at Harvard, her MSc in neuroscience at Oxford, and her PhD in psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance is her first book and an instant New York Times bestseller.
In this instant New York Times bestseller, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed—be it parents, students, educators, athletes, or business people—that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.”
Drawing on her own powerful story as the daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of “genius,” Duckworth, now a celebrated researcher and professor, describes her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience, which led to the hypothesis that what really drives success is not “genius” but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance.
In Grit, she takes readers into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, teachers working in some of the toughest schools, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she’s learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers—from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll.
Among Grit’s most valuable insights:
*Why any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal
*How grit can be learned, regardless of I.Q. or circumstances
*How lifelong interest is triggered
*How much of optimal practice is suffering and how much ecstasy
*Which is better for your child—a warm embrace or high standards
*The magic of the Hard Thing Rule
Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that—not talent or luck—makes all the difference.

成功的定義:活齣生命的精彩、實現自身的潛力,並且為世界做齣貢獻。 堅毅=激情+毅力 努力的重要性:很多人不是輸在努力,而是輸在不相信努力。 天賦×努力=技能;技能×努力=成就 (努力的因素需要被計算兩次:努力産生瞭技能,同時,努力又使技能化為生産力。) 培養堅毅品格...

三星半,讀到後麵有點拖遝和重復的感覺。不過正好在待業期間讀算是一種溫和的雞血吧,對grit這個詞的理解深瞭一點,之前看《大地驚雷》因為不是特彆理解女主所以對英文片名true grit 印象深刻。
評分把常識扯淡成理論,再扯淡成書。也不容易。
評分“成功心理學”這種標簽會予人過度功利性,“勵誌”標簽則易流於雞湯。“成就”標簽可能會更貼切些。結閤刻意練習、積極心理學、深度工作、心流……等一起讀,一體多麵,可以幫助一個人從目標、方法論、自律等等方麵更深入地進行自我培訓和教育。
評分14/50 of 2017. 3.5. 和The Outliers, The Tipping Point, David and Goliath, The Power of Habit, Thinking Fast and Slow 放在一起看,會有貫穿成功心理學的點.
評分really like her writing style. looking forward to learning about her more recent research and findings :)
