Summary:

Each month Danielle is going to recommend a book for you and a book for your kids and explain how the books can enhance your life. This month Danielle focuses on books that discuss perseverance, Grit, growth mindset for adults and kids alike.

You’ll hear:

  • The power of reading to nourish your mind - How life examples and research can motivate you to keep going
  • About books that deal with the focus on learning from failures and setbacks to be successful and gritty.
  • About Danielle’s experience reading Grit by Angela Duckworth & its research that leads to tips to develop long-lasting Grit

    • Book 1: Grit, Angela Duckworth

    • Quotes about grit and growth: “No one wants to show you the hours and hours of becoming. They’d rather show you the highlight of what they’ve become.”
    • “‘It’s about the in-the-moment self-awareness without judgement, [Terry Laughlin} continued. “It’s about relieving yourself of the judgement that gets in the way of enjoying the challenge.’”
    • “Grit depends on a different kind of hope. It rests on the expectation that our own efforts can improve the future. I have a feeling tomorrow will be better  is different from I resolve to make tomorrow better. The hope that gritty people have has nothing to do with luck and everything to do with getting up again.”

      • Book 2: Rosie Revere, Engineer, Andrea Beaty

      • “Your brilliant first flop was a raging success! Come on, let's get busy and on to the next!" She handed a notebook to Rosie Revere, who smiled at her aunt as it all became clear. Life might have its failures, but this was not it. The only true failure can come if you quit.”
