Grit : The Power of Passion and Perseverance

Great message and a couple interesting demonstrations of her thesis, but really the book could have been a chapter long. By the end, the reader could be likened to a dead horse beaten over the head by too many variations of essentially the same story.

I think grit is an important distinction but it would have significantly more utility if the concept were applied to smaller time scales rather than the multi-year time scale implicit in the authors framing of grit. Then it could be practised.

It was a decent read. But got really repetitive soon. The main ideas are useful, but I found myself skipping or glancing over a bunch of stuff since it just kept rehashing the same ideas again and again.
