Angela Duckworth: Situated, Gebunden

Klappentext

From the #1 bestselling author of Grit, a new book that reveals the hidden power of situations-and how you can shape them to bring out your best.

In Angela Duckworth's first book, she showed that a common denominator of successful strivers is a blend of passion and perseverance she dubbed "grit." This second book springs from her deepening realization that grit, while necessary, is sometimes not sufficient. How you situate yourself to meet a challenge can be crucial.

Duckworth's in-depth research reveals the enormous influence wielded by the objects within arm's reach, your peers and mentors, and even where you live. Though you're often told to make the best of your situation, it is far, far better to make your situation better first.
