Summary

Ever wondered if you've got what it takes to chase your dreams? I certainly have, especially since I took the leap into 'funemployment' after leaving academia and exploring where I’ll go next. The burning question: Do I possess the grit needed for this new adventure?  To find answers, I've dived into Angela Duckworth's 'Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance.' Duckworth's groundbreaking research on grit has reshaped education and personal development. Her bestselling book explores how passion and perseverance fuel success.
