Abstract: "Why do some people succeed and others fail? Sharing new insights from her landmark research on grit, MacArthur genius grant recipient 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 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. Finally, she shares what she's learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers--from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to Bob Mankoff, cartoon editor of The New Yorker, to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll. 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"--

Abstrak :
Banyak orang yang mengira jika untuk mencapai sebuah kesuksesan, faktor yang paling berpengaruh adalah bakat alami, sehingga saat seseorang tidak mampu meraih kesuksesan, hal tersebut dirasa karena tidak mempunyai bakal alami di suatu bidang. Akibat stigma dan prasangka tersebut, banyak orang yang mulai merasa pesimistis ketika tidak mampu meraih tujuan yang mereka inginkan, sehingga perasaan rendah diri pun langsung menguasai karena sepertinya sudah tidak ada harapan lagi untuk memiliki bakat. Mengapa orang yang memiliki bakat alami selalu gagal mencapai potensi mereka, sementara orang lain yang tidak terlalu berbakat bisa menggapai hal-hal yang menakjubkan? Dalam buku yang harus dibaca oleh siapa saja yang ingin sukses ini, Angela Duckworth (seorang psikolog perintis) menunjukkan bahwa rahasia untuk pencapaian yang luar biasa bukanlah bakat, melainkan perpaduan istimewa antara hasrat (passion) dan kegigihan (perseverance) yang ia sebut "ketabahan" (grit). Berdasarkan penelitian, wawancara dengan orang-orang yang berprestasi tinggi, serta pengalamannya sendiri, Duckworth menunjukkan bahwa kecenderungan kita untuk terpaku pada bakat alami itu salah: dari segi pencapaian, yang lebih penting adalah usaha yang kita lakukan dan reaksi kita terhadap hambatan. Kemudian, ia menjelaskan bahwa ketabahan bisa dipelajari sekaligus menawarkan rumusan baru kesuksesan individu maupun kesuksesan kolektif.
