In this episode of Talking About Practice, we talk with best-selling author, Angela Duckworth. Angela is a professor at University of Pennsylvania, and has one of the most popular TED Talks in history on Grit. Her best-selling book, aptly titled, "Grit", centers on the idea that grit leads to success.
We chat with Angela about her current work with Character Lab, what she has seen work with students and adults, and what she's currently curious about. She also shares her story of growth and scratching her own itch!
