Not All Grit is Created Equal

In this course, Caroline Adams Miller, MAPP, asks what grit is and why it matters, citing the research of Angela Duckworth as a springboard for her own developments about grit. Miller distinguishes between four kinds of grit: authentic, stupid, selfie, and faux. Within the authentic category of grit, are four types of “good” grit. Defining grit as the passionate pursuit of hard goals that awes and inspires others to become better people, Miller also discusses the ingredients of authentic grit.
