This is our unabridged interview with Angela Duckworth.

What do Olympic athletes, world-class artists, elite academics, and successful business executives have in common?

Ivy League psychologist Angela Duckworth has spent her career researching this question, closely studying those folks at the top of their respective fields who are considered “high achievers.”

Surprisingly, it turns out talent is not the answer. Neither is genius. “The common denominator,” she says, “is grit.”

In this episode, she explains what she means by “grit,” discusses why it is such a crucial determinant for success, and offers highly practical methods for developing grit in one’s own life.
