What if the one thing that matters most for your success isn’t talent, luck, or intelligence, but something you can build starting today?  In this eye-opening conversation, renowned psychologist Dr. Angela Duckworth joins Mel to reveal the real science of success and what drives achievement – and it’s not what you’ve been told. You’ll learn why grit – the combination of passion and perseverance – matters more than talent, intelligence, or motivation alone. And today, you’ll learn exactly how to build it.  Dr. Duckworth is a pioneering researcher in psychology, professor at The University of Pennsylvania, a MacArthur “Genius” Grant winner, and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Grit, which has changed the way millions of people understand success. In this powerful, research-backed conversation, she unpacks the truth about what it really takes to succeed and how you and your family can tap into this research in your daily life. You’ll learn: -The four traits gritty people have (and how to build them) -Why most people quit too soon and how to stay motivated -How to develop a growth mindset at any age -What elite performers know about discipline that you don’t -Why your environment is quietly shaping your success  Success isn’t reserved for the gifted, it’s built by those who refuse to give up. If you’re feeling stuck, unmotivated, or ready to give up, don’t. Not before you hear this. Because grit can be learned. And this episode shows you how. For more resources related to today’s episode, <a href="https://www.melrobbins.com/episode/episode-333/" target="_blank">click here</a> for the podcast episode page. If you liked the episode, check out this one next: <a href="https://www.melrobbins.com/episode/episode-137/" target="_blank">How to Motivate Yourself: Leverage Dopamine & Overcome Your Excuses</a>Connect with Mel:  <ul><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1401971369?tag=lnk0001-20&geniuslink=true" target="_blank">Get Mel’s #1 bestselling book, The Let Them Theory</a></li><li><a href="https://bit.ly/45OWCNr" target="_blank">Watch the episodes on YouTube</a></li><li><a href="https://bit.ly/3QfG8bb" target="_blank">Follow Mel on Instagram </a></li><li><a href="https://bit.ly/49bg4GP" target="_blank">The Mel Robbins Podcast Instagram</a></li><li><a href="https://bit.ly/46Kpw2v" target="_blank">Mel's TikTok </a></li><li><a href="https://bit.ly/46PVnPs" target="_blank">Sign up for Mel’s personal letter </a></li><li><a href="https://siriusxm.supportingcast.fm/" target="_blank">Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes ad-free</a></li><li><a href="https://www.melrobbins.com/disclaimer" target="_blank">Disclaimer</a></li></ul> Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
