Grit

Angela Duckworth

Across West Point cadets and Spelling Bee competitors, Duckworth found the same result: grit outpredicts talent and IQ for who finishes, because effort counts twice. Talent times effort produces skill; skill times effort produces achievement. Book 3's Chapter 8 pairs Grit with The Dip deliberately: Godin supplies the terrain-diagnosis grit alone lacks, and grit supplies the perseverance to cross a Dip once identified.
