Ravi Sinha's Reviews > Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance

While we all know that patience and perseverance bear fruit and bring back amazing rewards, the book does have a kind of freshness to it, in that it's full of examples and findings that are more than just preaching. I also liked some of the practical ways described about implementing grit in daily life, e.g. in the form of low level/mid level/high level goals, etc., and not getting too hung up on losing out on lower level goals as long as you still keep moving toward the higher level goals. The outside-in view for parents was also instructional. In the end it does end up stating the obvious, but I personally get a kick out of these kinds of books. The scientific breakdown of how to achieve grit from the inside out as well as from the outside in was refreshing. Tends to be a little bit repetitive though.
