Work hard, and smart, don't just rely on talent
I'm always a little dubious about books in the self-help genre as 200 pages can be translated into one tagline. However, as a book, Grit is intelligently put together, with interesting research and anecdotes which was pleasant to read. You do need to use external resources that she provides from time to time, which I didn't do, so some of it may not make complete sense.

And unlike a lot of pretentious self-help books, Angela Duckworth is a pioneer in her field, and she keeps the self-congratulations to a minimum.

So this was the first self help book I've read and honestly it was amazing! It wasn't the typical wishy washy stuff i think people expect from these genres it was funny very inspiring and in some areas brutally honest! She explains many areas in such a way that it is relatable to everyone without it being to vague which i also like! Would definitely recommend this book especially if your getting into the whole self help idea.

Not a great film but I still cannot help laughing at the jokes and the situations that Edina and Patsy get themselves into. You end up rooting for them even though they are self-obsessed and really quite loathsome!
