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.

在湖南南部有个俗语:"下狠",含义类似普通话的"勤奋",同时还有"对自己狠,不会轻易放弃"的意思。我觉得跟这个grit类似。 如果你只是想听人强调"勤奋"的重要性,那看这本书还不如去中学校堂听高三带班老师洗脑。angela duckworth带来的新东西就是她把grit掰碎了讲,不仅告诉你...
评分之所以给三星,一是考虑到有读者并未看过多少同类书的,看一看多少有用。二是考虑到华裔在美国的三等公民地位不太容易,略表支持。 先抛开外界关于“心理学是不是科学”这个争论,姑且承认作者在书中一再自称的科学家地位。就事论事的说,这本书的内容很不讨人喜欢。 我认为...
评分——读《坚毅 释放激情与坚持的力量》有感 习近平总书记在党的十九大报告中深刻指出,“我国经济已由高速增长阶段转向高质量发展阶段,正处在转变发展方式、优化经济结构、转换增长动力的攻关期,建设现代化经济体系是跨越关口的迫切要求和我国发展的战略目标。” 在当下市场环...
really like her writing style. looking forward to learning about her more recent research and findings :)
评分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,会有贯穿成功心理学的点.
评分“成功心理学”这种标签会予人过度功利性,“励志”标签则易流于鸡汤。“成就”标签可能会更贴切些。结合刻意练习、积极心理学、深度工作、心流……等一起读,一体多面,可以帮助一个人从目标、方法论、自律等等方面更深入地进行自我培训和教育。
评分把常识扯淡成理论,再扯淡成书。也不容易。
评分@Overdrive, book club March/April. 属于五年一遇的研究吧,称不上深刻但在教育心理学上有很广的应用。
