Angela Duckworth's "Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance" calls out the biased celebration of "talent," and makes a compelling case for the superior effectiveness of passion and continued efforts. 

Formula:

• Talent x effort = skill
• Skill x effort = achievement 

(talent counts, but effort counts twice)

"Grit" is a personal recommendation, and a selection by Chris Delisio, my guest on Episode #24 of the Path Podcast.
