Product Management

Absolutely loved this read! The book is broken up into three parts focusing on what grit is and why it matters, growing grit from the inside out (interest (passion), practice (perseverance), purpose, hope), and outside in (parenting, culture).

An easy read, full of interesting stories and experiments, with the majority of the book resonating with my journey which made it hard to put down!

“Those who dropped out of training rarely did so from a lack of ability. Rather, what mattered, Mike said, was a “never give up” attitude.”
