Overview
This two-book collection brings together psychologist Angela Duckworth's most influential ideas on achievement, motivation, and lasting change. Grit: Why Passion and Resilience Are the Secrets to Success introduced readers to the concept of grit, the blend of passion and perseverance behind long-term success. Situated: Find the People and Places That Bring Out Your Best builds on that foundation, revealing how the environments, people, and objects around us shape behavior more than willpower alone. Together, these paperbacks offer a practical toolkit for anyone striving to grow, work smarter, and reach their potential at school, at work, or in everyday life.

About the Books
Grit: Why Passion and Resilience Are the Secrets to Success is Angela Duckworth's landmark exploration of what separates high achievers from everyone else. Drawing on research with West Point cadets, spelling bee contestants, and teachers, Duckworth argues that talent matters far less than most people assume. It is grit, a sustained blend of passion and perseverance, that best predicts who succeeds, and the book breaks it into learnable habits like effort and prioritization. Situated: Find the People and Places That Bring Out Your Best is Duckworth's follow-up, exploring how the objects within reach, the people around us, and the places we live can make success easier or harder. Rather than urging readers to simply try harder, Duckworth shows how reshaping a situation often works better than relying on willpower alone. Together, the two books present a fuller picture of achievement: inner drive paired with outer conditions.
