A one-minute spoken summary by Brian Johnson of Caroline Adams Miller’s book Getting Grit that defines authentic grit as purpose-driven, effort-fueled, character-guided persistence. It contrasts genuine grit with counterfeit forms (toughness, perfectionism, martyrdom) and emphasizes that grit can be cultivated via goal-setting, deliberate practice, and embracing challenge, especially when tied to meaning beyond oneself.
