SINOPSIS DEL LIBRO ORIGINAL: Las ideas desarrolladas en este libro fueron gestadas por su autora cuando ella comenzó a enseñar. Maestra de escuela secundaria y psicóloga, observó que muchos de sus alumnos que tenian los mejores resultados no eran los de mayor cociente intelectual, los mas inteligentes ni los mas talentosos. Se pregunto entonces si el exito en la escuela y en la vida no dependeria de alguna otra cualidad mucho mas que de la habilidad de aprender de manera rapida y facil. Es un tema poco abordado por la ciencia todavia, al que Angela Lee Duckworth refiere varios argumentos que ameritan investigacion cientifica. Su teoria se fundamenta en el hecho de que sean cuales sean las metas personales o profesionales de una persona, la determinacion que produce pasion y perseverancia, sera el impulso que le permitira alcanzarlas. En estas lineas encontraras todo lo que Angela Lee Duckworth ha descubierto acerca de la determinacion, y aprenderas a desarrollarla.

In this instant New York Times bestseller, Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls grit. Inspiration for non-geniuses everywhere (People).The daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of genius, Angela Duckworth is now a celebrated researcher and professor. It was her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience that led to her hypothesis about what really drives success: not genius, but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance. In Grit, she takes us 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 shes learned from interviewing dozens of high achieversfrom JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll. Duckworths ideas about the cultivation of tenacity have clearly changed some lives for the better (The New York Times Book Review). Among Grits most valuable insights: any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal; grit can be learned, regardless of IQ or circumstances; when it comes to child-rearing, neither a warm embrace nor high standards will work by themselves; how to trigger lifelong interest; the magic of the Hard Thing Rule; and so much more. Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how thatnot talent or luckmakes all the difference. This is a fascinating tour of the psychological research on success (The Wall Street Journal).
