About this audiobook
True grit is a key predictor of success! Staying power to see things through helps predict success, and the good news is that it is a skill that can be taught.
This audio book will teach you the important ingredient in long-term success: GRIT. Psychology defines it as a unique personality trait. And here, you will understand why. You will learn and understand the importance of grit as a personality trait. If you wonder why some people seem to have an innate ability to succeed, it’s because they’re gritty people. And while others are critical of its uniqueness, many psychologists argue that grit is another personality trait entirely.
Here, you will find discussions about the traits that are correlated to grit—and learn their difference. On top of that, you will find out the secrets on how to build grit. If you’re not yet a gritty person but you want to be, this audio book can get the ball rolling for you.
Here is a preview of what you'll hear....
- Grit 101
- The Importance of Grit
- Correlation with Intelligence & Old-School Constructs
- Correlation to “The Big Five”
- Grit in Action
- Secrets on How to Build Grit
- And much, much more!
