84 Q&A with Angela Duckworth author of Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance


Listen Later

In Part III Q&A with Angela Duckworth, she answers questions from our listeners.

I am beyond thrilled to have Angela Duckworth as a guest on my podcast. She is most famous for her Ted talk ( > 23,432,260 views! ) and bestselling book — Grit, The Power of Passion and Perseverance. She's also actually brilliant, personable and generous.  As a former math and science teacher in public schools in NYC, San Francisco and Philadelphia, Angela is passionate about sharing her research on strategies for success with educators and parents to help kids thrive.

Due to some technical issues and scheduling mixups, I ended up having not just one, but two conversations with Angela plus a speed round of Q&A from parents. Now that's what they mean when they say make "lemonade from lemons"!

The topics skipped around a bit so it made sense to split it up into 3 parts. 

Angela Duckworth is the founder and CEO of Character Lab, a nonprofit whose mission is to advance scientific insights that help children thrive. She is also a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and in 2013 was named a MacArthur Fellow aka the genius grant recipient.

Angela shares research-backed advice for parents and teachers in her Tip of the Week. Sign up to receive it by email here.
