关于宾夕法尼亚大学心理学教授 Angela Duckworth
在 2013年的TED 论坛发表的关于 Grit（坚毅）的演讲视频，
点击率已超过1100万，风靡全世界！
三年后，她出版了自己的第一本书GRIT：The Power of Passion and Perseverance（《坚毅》）。这本书一问世，就迅速成为亚马逊教育类排名第一的畅销书。
Angela 通过清晰完整的逻辑框架，配以大量的人物访谈、科学评测、文献引用，从 What，Why，到How、从育己到育儿，为我们呈现了一位热忱的科学家和妈妈。
本书能够让我们看到关于成功的另一面，那就是：发现自己的兴趣所在，找到自己的人生使命，在挫败中不断磨炼自己，成为一个坚毅的人，拥有自己想要的生活。
很多人认为，成功的要素在于智商与情商。但宾夕法尼亚大学心理学副教授安杰拉•达克沃思通过研究发现，坚毅的品质对成功起到了关键性的作用。
达克沃思教授从2007年开始对“坚毅”（GRIT）进行研究，她的研究成果已发布在美国各大学术杂志上。
她认为，坚毅比天赋更能预测一个人未来的表现。在遇到挫折、失败时，仍能坚持不懈地朝着自己的目标努力，这才是决定长期成功的因素。
本书基于大量研究案例，同时也引用了作者的亲身经历及她采访过的诸多坚毅典范，包括商业精英、艺术家、教育家、运动员及军事家等。事实证明，我们不仅可以通过训练提高自己的坚毅指数，而且应该从孩子的教育阶段就开始重视坚毅品质的培养，比如多让孩子参加课外活动，并且一定要让他们在某项课外活动中坚持一年以上的时间。
In this must-read book for anyone striving to succeed, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows parents, educators, athletes, students, and business people—both seasoned and new—that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a focused persistence called “grit.”
Why do some people succeed and others fail? Sharing new insights from her landmark research on grit, MacArthur “genius” Angela Duckworth explains why talent is hardly a guarantor of success. Rather, other factors can be even more crucial such as identifying our passions and following through on our commitments.
Drawing on her own powerful story as the daughter of a scientist who frequently bemoaned her lack of smarts, Duckworth describes her winding path through teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience, which led to the hypothesis that what really drives success is not “genius” but a special blend of passion and long-term perseverance. As a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Duckworth created her own “character lab” and set out to test her theory.
Here, she takes readers into the field to visit teachers working in some of the toughest schools, cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, 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 the cartoon editor of The New Yorker to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll.
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.
