We all have that ONE friend - that friend who somehow manages to get into the gym every morning, crush her workday, hang out with her family, and read the kinds of books you’ve had on your “to-read” list for years. All without breaking a sweat. How do they do it? 

Well, that’s exactly the question author, economist and Wharton professor Katy Milkman wants you to ask. Research shows that when we tackle the same projects or goals alongside a friend or colleague, we’re more likely to succeed. And if you’re working towards the same thing, it probably pays to share what’s working with one another, right? 

Katy believes in the “copy and paste” method not just because of research, but also because she does it herself, and the results speak for themselves. 

After all, when you regularly work with Grit author Angela Duckworth, there’s plenty of great ideas to copy and paste!
