A well written guide to the author's 'grit studies' thus far; I really admired Angela Duckworth's sincerity and passion for her subject. It was sometimes uncomfortable reading though - for the way 'grit paragons' defined success (I was at odds) and the stark evidence about equality of opportunity for young people to learn hard things, with the support of mentors or family... the last chapter does a great job of bringing you back to the main points and restoring hope.
