Welcome to a short bonus episode that's part of the series "Amazing book takeaways". In this segment I share concepts and ideas I read and loved in a parenting or a personal development book that I think you could benefit from. The idea is to learn from the best in their fields and expand our parenting toolkit.
Today I am excited to talk about Angela Duckworth’s book "Grit". I recently read it and fell in love with the idea of encouraging grit in our children.
The author argues that grit, which is a combination of passion and perseverance, is a more accurate predictor of success than intelligence or talent. And while grit is not the only factor that makes possible the accomplishment of our goals, it certainly plays a major role.
In this episode I talk about the 4 steps in developing grit that Angela Duckworth defines in her book. I also introduce the practical exercise she suggests for teaching kids grit, called the Hard Thing Rule.
