Finally finishing up this book that I love to hate 🤷‍♀️

I think I started this one two years ago and halfway got stuck but it remained on my bedside since then. Even though I think of myself as a person with quite some stamina, I was really annoyed with how the book sings basically the gospel of grind culture and suggests everything is possible if you were only "gritty" enough, larded with quotes as "whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right" and "just keep working hard and learning, and it will all work out".

But somehow I could also not do away with the book. Last week, I picked it up and found myself immediately annoyed again. So I decided to see if there was more criticism to be found and well, yes it turns out the book has received quite some: misleading reporting of effect sizes, narrow populations, shakey survey questions and the suggestion that grit is very identical to already established psychological concepts.

With my doubts validated, I could read the second half with some grains of salt, which made it a whole lot easier to bear. The one thing that I love to hate in particular is her weird implicit definition of "success", which seems to me mainly about making money and success in the capitalist sense. This results in the awkward presentation of all kinds of "grit paragons", of which most awkwardly Jeff Bezos, who for the life of me I cannot imagine as a good example for anything really.

Anyway, while annoying the hell out of myself I also got go pick up the many interesting psychology tidbids in there, of which my favorite is about learned helplessness and learned optimism. And, granted to Duckworth, I do feel inspired to apply now for this next cool job opening that I saw 🙃

[usunezukoinezu]

''Why were the highly accomplished so dogged in their pursuits? For most, there was no realistic expectation of ever catching up to their ambitions. In their own eyes, they were never good enough. They were the opposite of complacent. And yet, in a very real sense, they were satisfied being unsatisfied. Each was chasing something of unparalleled interest and importance, and it was the chase—as much as the capture—that was gratifying. Even if some of the things they had to do were boring, or frustrating, or even painful, they wouldn’t dream of giving up. Their passion was enduring In sum, no matter the domain, the highly successful had a kind of ferocious determination that played out in two ways. First, these exemplars were unusually resilient and hardworking. Second, they knew in a very, very deep way what it was they wanted. They not only had determination, they had direction. It was this combination of passion and perseverance that made high achievers special. In a word, they had grit.''
