Grit: Passion, Perseverance, and the Science of Success

Duckworth's style in writing the summary of grit, her research focus, is deft and clear; I enjoyed it. As in many books of this style, she leans heavily on the stories of a number of people, some famous, others not so. Personally, I would rather read about the empirical research behind the concept of grit. I realize, however, this book is for mass market and not specifically for the scholar. All-in-all, an enjoyable read that prompts an interest.
