Save yourself the read. *by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2018* First off, this book is very well written. Has a nice flow to it and is easy to understand. That said...This book reminds me of how the government will spend millions of dollars on a study to tell you something you already know: "After an exhaustive multi-year study costing $10 million dollars, we have concluded that ice is cold to the touch." This book is very much like that. I can't think of one single concept presented in the book that isn't already common knowledge. Example: Hard work and perseverance can make up for lack of talent. Who doesn't already know this? Here's another one: People who like what they are doing (passion), usually do better than those who do not. Every single point made in this book is about that profound. And, if you are looking for proven ways to increase you own "grit," forget about it--they are not there.This material might make for a good 10-page whitepaper, but it isn't nearly deep enough to make into a 300 page book. Because of that, there is just major filler in the form of stories about successful people.Lastly, like another reviewer pointed out, this book has a self-righteous undertone to it. The author burns a lot of ink making sure you think she's smart and important.I'll save you $20: The most successful people work really hard at something they like and don't give up. ### ⭐⭐ If you saw the author's TED talk on grit, there is not much you will learn from reading this book *by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2017* I normally never post a review on Amazon, but in this case I simply could not stop mysefl from posting it, as I had great expectations about this book after seeying the TED talk of Ms. Duckworth and hearing a Freakonomics podcast with her. In the end, I was disappointed.Please also excuse grammar/ spelling, as I'm writing this from Russia and I'm not a native English speaker.This book tells us that grit (and not talent or luck) is essential for success in life.The reader will find multiple anecdotes on how so-and-so achieved much by perseverence, passion and not giving up.So half of the book is dedicated to showing a reader how important is grit for success (quite convincingly, but to my taste, way too extensively; couple of anecdotes and studies mentioned would have done as good as these several chapters). Along with anecdotes some (quite robust) scientific evidence is given.What the book lacks completely, is scientifically based advice HOW TO BUILD GRIT. As someone, who struggles to be gritty in my daily life, I had great hopes to find valuable hints in this book. There are a few, but very "soft" ones (like the author assumes they should work, but being honest with the reader, concedes that there is no evidence behind these tips). ### ⭐ It started out as a great book, but it never transitioned *by P*** on Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2018* It started out as a great book, but it never transitioned. You're stuck reading about the same argument, but she backs it up using way too many studies. Shrink the book, reduce the content, and it'll be a great book. In fact, it takes a Gritty person like myself to finish this book. My first book review on Amazon, I just had to let everyone know... every page is the same. I finished it, just for the sake of finishing (like I do all my books). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/106253789-grit-the-power-of-passion-and-perseverance](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/106253789-grit-the-power-of-passion-and-perseverance) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
