In this episode, I break down Angela Duckworth's research on why passion and perseverance matter more than natural ability... and why effort counts twice. We cover the neuroscience behind why your brain gets stronger at not giving up, the four elements of grit (interest, practice, purpose and hope), why embarrassment and fear of failure are learned behaviours, and the parable of the bricklayers that changed how I think about purpose.
