Getting Grit: The Evidence-Based Approach to Cultivating Passion, Perseverance, and Purpose

This Book explores the concept of grit, defined as passion and perseverance toward long-term goals, and how it predicts success in various domains like the National Spelling Bee and West Point training. The author, Caroline Adams Miller, examines authentic grit and its components, contrasting it with detrimental forms like "faux grit" and "stubborn grit." The text discusses research findings on grit, its cultivation through practices such as goal setting and building resilience, and the importance of factors like passion, humility, and patience. Furthermore, it addresses societal trends that may hinder grit development, including entitlement and a focus on instant gratification, while offering strategies and examples to foster a grittier life for personal and collective well-being.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Getting-Grit-Evidence-Based-Cultivating-Perseverance/dp/1622039203?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=3a91d11e9289e978244442ad46b42d13&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by Podcai Studio:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
