About the Book

Grit is part of Harvard Business Review's acclaimed Emotional Intelligence Series, exploring one of the most essential, and hardest to define, qualities for succeeding through hardship: grit. In the face of real adversity, we need perseverance and determination, but how exactly do we build it? This volume explores how to genuinely persist through difficult situations, teaching readers how to convince themselves to do hard things, find real support during trying circumstances, and recognize when they're pushing themselves too hard.

Bringing together essays from Angela Duckworth, the psychologist and researcher who popularized the concept of grit, alongside ballet dancer Misty Copeland, adventurer and leadership expert Shannon Huffman Polson, and organizational psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, the collection blends rigorous research with genuinely inspiring, lived experience. Topics span the science behind passion and perseverance, the difference between individual grit and what it takes to build "gritty organizations," the role of growth mindset and appreciative inquiry in sustaining effort, and real-world lessons drawn from extraordinary circumstances, including how leaders and teams found the resolve to push through crises like Hurricane Katrina. Rather than treating grit as an innate trait some people simply have and others don't, the collection offers concrete, research-backed insight into how it can genuinely be cultivated, both individually and across entire organizations.
