Book Recommendation - Grit by Angela Duckworth

Grit by Angela Duckworth

I have just finished this book and I have started it over again. There's not many books that I do that with but this is one of them. If you want to succeed or your calling is to support others to do so, this is a kind of recipe book for that. You'll learn the ingredients and instructions that when mixed together = success.

Of course there are no short cuts or hacks because real success always comes from applying yourself to your 'art' remorselessly. But there are 'insider secrets', in fact the whole book is just that.

Angela Duckworth interviews and gets the insider secrets from some of the most successful people in the world; from the highest achievers in business, finance, education, the arts, sport, music, the military and more. Their real life experience confirms her scientific findings and it's all laid out for you to emulate in your endeavours if you wish.

It's a great book and I definitely recommend it. Thanks to Joe Bonington who recommended it to me.

You can get it from Amazon here. It is on Audible too.

As well as business and marketing I coach and mentor many people re their personal and professional lives. If you want to explore your personal development or an issue that's keeping you stuck, I'd be very happy to have a chat with you, to do so contact me here
