Books by Angela Duckworth mentioned on podcasts
Angela Duckworth and her book Grit have been referenced across several podcast episodes discussing perseverance, talent, and public feedback. On an episode of Freakonomics Radio, Stephen Dubner and the host discussed Duckworth's book, noting that she is a research psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania who wrote about persistence under the title Grit, The Power of Passion and Perseverance, and they connected her literature to the famous Winston Churchill quote on grit. On multiple episodes of No Stupid Questions, Duckworth herself reflected on writing the book. She shared that the fundamental idea was challenging the notion that greatness stems purely from talent, noted that she wrote about her own daughters before they were old enough to give permission, and mentioned her past practice of reading Amazon reviews, a habit she ultimately abandoned because she found it unhealthy. Furthermore, co-host Mike Maughan repeatedly introduced Duckworth across episodes by highlighting her authorship of the book alongside their discussions on curiosity and perspective.
