Description
Thaler and Koval feel that grit, perseverance, perspiration, determination, and sheer stick-to-it-tiveness is the real secret to their own success in their careers-- and can be in yours. Research shows that we far overvalue talent and intellectual ability in our culture. Many people get ahead because they work incredibly hard, put in thousands of hours of practice and extra sweat equity, and made their own luck. Discover the powers that can help you succeed: the courage necessary to take on tough challenges and not give up at the first sign of difficulty. The essential quality of resiliency. And how to reset your optimistic set point.
