Thanks to Deal Hunter phoinix for finding this deal.

Available:About this title:
  • Print Length: 368 pages
  • 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 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.

I was a university professor at the time this book was popular, and everyone was trying to work the concept of teaching/instilling grit it into curriculum and the subsequent backlash. It's been awhile, but I will try summarize. Basically they thought that Grit's main problem is that it oversells a thin finding. Duckworth's grit scale only weakly predicts outcomes, and a lot of what looks like "grit" overlaps with conscientiousness, a trait psychology already had. The samples she draws on (West Point cadets, spelling bee kids) are survivors who'd already cleared other filters, so it's hard to separate grit from privilege or talent. And the book's "just try harder" framing tends to wave away how much money, access, and circumstance actually shape who gets to succeed.
