好書導讀 | EP007 恆毅力｜西點軍校用了幾十年的評分系統，輸給一份十二題問卷

西點軍校每年淘汰近一成新生，軍方用了幾十年的評分系統，卻比不過一份十二題問卷。這份問卷的作者安琪拉達克沃斯，曾是麥肯錫顧問，後來辭職去教七年級數學，才發現決定成就的關鍵，不是天分，而是一種可以被培養的心理結構。這一集，Jenny用思辨者的角度，拆解恆毅力的公式，也說出她最不完全認同的地方：堅持到底，不一定永遠是對的選擇。你會聽到努力如何在公式裡被算了兩次，也會聽到興趣、練習、目的、希望這四層資產，如何決定一個人能不能走到最後。 Every year, West Point loses nearly ten percent of new cadets within the first seven weeks. The military's decades old evaluation system could not predict who would quit, but a twelve question survey could. Its author, Angela Duckworth, once worked as a McKinsey consultant before leaving to teach seventh grade math, where she discovered that achievement is driven less by talent and more by a psychological structure that can be built. In this episode, Jenny breaks down the grit formula and shares the part of the book she cannot fully agree with: that holding on until the end is not always the right choice. You will hear how effort gets counted twice in the achievement equation, and how interest, practice, purpose, and hope determine whether someone makes it to the finish line.
