Summary: Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth

By: In A Nutshell Publishing

Narrated by: David Margittai

Length: 50 mins

Publisher's summary

It takes the average person 49.5 minutes to read 7,000 words. For the price of a coffee and a time investment of roughly three-and-a-half percent of your day, I believe the wisdom in this book to be well worth it's value.

Here's my sales pitch: The writing will not be quite up to the same standard, and the formatting is also not done by a professional. If you need a story behind each point to reinforce it, then please, go and buy the original. However, if, like me, you aren't a fan of the "fluff" that comes along with most books and would much rather skip to the nuggets of wisdom and actionable content in a very easily absorbed, enjoyable way including key takeaways - then I believe this is the book for you.

Save yourself time and money. I am only releasing summaries of the books that have made a true positive impact in my life. If you decide to purchase, I truly hope you enjoy and benefit from it. Amplify your knowledge in a simple, efficient manner. Take action, get your copy today!

Entertaining

I bought the summary to help me decide whether to buy the original book. I liked it, now I'm ready for the full version.

Great!

This was an amazing summary of the book Grit! What a gift to be able to procure the key elements of a book and distill them done to less than an hour! Well done!!! Listened from Thailand, by way of California!

Very good at highlighting the key points

I thought it was clear and concise. I retained a lot of key take away.

Chapter summaries

I really like the end of chapter summaries for a quick refresher. I was hoping for a summary of all the summaries at the end. I gave this summary of Grit to my grandson in his now third year of college majoring in Sports Psychology & an aspiring baseball pitcher who pitched in college nationals last year as a 17 year old. Now because of COVID, baseball was canceled & we will see whether he perservers with grit & passion or changes course. I will also give this to a son who is a parent to one gritty successful child & another child who is unmotivated & gives up easily when faced with needed practice. This parent was a psych major so should find it interesting. Your audio summary is helpful for busy people & a good summary of what I read in Duckworth’s book. Thank you.

True to life and explained perfectly

Loved it! I am a grit person but did not know until reading this. This book touched me because you are truly helping people to follow through on things that can literally alter the trajectory of their life. Kudos!

Passionate

This summary book was just enough to inspire my passion to dig deeper into the development and awareness of grit. Thank you for offering such a well done and inspiring overview of the topic.

Great for those who don’t have time to waste

I love audio books especially when they are condensed into a great insightful format that allows we to get through more subject matter in less time. This does that perfectly.

Great summary!

The complete version of this book has a ton of great reviews, but the negative ones all said the same thing...could be drastically shortened. This summary does the job. Two Thumbs up!

great summary, well detailed

This summary, gives you the proper feeling of the book. most important stories are shared, and the key takeaways are great for a brief compact summary of the main ideas in each chapter.

A Must Read

Wow! What an inspiration. Thank you for such concise and applicable suggestions. Cant wait to apply these principles right away.
I am interested in reading more of your work, Ms. Duckworth and listening to your Ted talks. Thank you!
