It is NOT intensity or enthusiasm held for a brief moment. It is endurance.<\/li><li>Perseverance is the ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/setbacks-in-life\/\">overcome setbacks<\/a>, put in hard work, and finish things you\u2019ve started.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Grit predicts success, even when controlling for talent or IQ. That is, between two people of the same talent level, a grittier person will enjoy more success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make no mistake: talent and IQ are still important and still correlate with success. However, they are not <em>sufficient<\/em> for high achievement. If you are talented, you get the most mileage by combining talent and hard work. And if you are less talented, you can make up for it with grit, exceeding someone with more talent who works less hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We tend to fetishize talent because it protects our ego \u2013 if other people\u2019s successes are due to inborn talent, then we are at an inherent disadvantage, and thus we don\u2019t have to feel bad about not measuring up. We look at Albert Einstein or Tom Brady and think, well they were born with it \u2013 there\u2019s no way I could do what they do \u2013 thus I don\u2019t need to work hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Effort counts twice: skill = talent x effort. Achievement = skill x effort. The more effort you apply, the more your skill rises, and the more you achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the grit method, grit is changeable. It increases with age, and small experiments show that it can be influenced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 4 components to the grit method:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Interest: enjoy what you\u2019re doing<\/li><li>Practice: conduct <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/deliberate-practice-definition\/\">deliberate practice<\/a> to improve on your weaknesses and continuously improve<\/li><li>Purpose: believe that your work matters and improves the lives of others<\/li><li>Hope: believe in your capacity for achievement and ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-overcome-disappointment-in-life\/\">overcome difficulties<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The most successful parenting style is both supportive and demanding. The two do not need to trade off with each other. Listen to your kids, talk to them, respect their viewpoints. Also, set <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/ambitious-goals\/\">ambitious goals<\/a> for them, punish them for breaking rules. This is also true of leadership and coaching in professional environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To become more gritty, join a gritty culture. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/norms-of-society\/\">social norms<\/a> will force you to be gritty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Grit Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Duckworth ends the book with a series of rebuttals to common counterarguments about grit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does grit conflict with happiness?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>No \u2013 actually, <strong>life satisfaction and grit correlate strongly<\/strong>. Duckworth hasn\u2019t yet studied the happiness of people <em>around<\/em> gritty people \u2013 partners, children, parents. However, she believes her kids appreciate her grittiness and know achieving their goals is better than complacency.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Can you have too much grit, just like you can have too courageous or too honest?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Duckworth admits that persevering blindly and without exception isn\u2019t the best default \u2013 this can cause you to miss opportunities. Ideally, you swap the activity with something else that is consistent with your ultimate concern.&nbsp;<\/li><li>She also argues that by far, most of us need more grit, not less.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Is grit the only thing that matters? No. In reflecting on this, morality is the most important character trait. Duckworth defines three clusters of character:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>intrapersonal (grit, self-control) \u2013 the resume virtues<\/li><li>interpersonal (gratitude, social intelligence) \u2013 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/eulogy-virtues\/\">eulogy virtues<\/a><\/li><li>intellectual (curiosity, zest)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of these clusters predicts different outcomes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does encouraging grit set expectations unrealistically high for children? Will they grow up thinking they can be Mozart or Einstein? If they realize they can\u2019t get there, will they give up?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The point of growth is not to become Einstein \u2013 it\u2019s to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/always-do-your-best\/\">be the best you can<\/a>, and to break past your self-imposed limits. To use the grit method is to put one foot in front of the other, day after week after year, to fall down and rise again.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you understand the grit method, you can start applying it to your life. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the grit method?
