Above is an audio presentation I gave to the students of Dr. Angela Duckworth’s lab at the University of Pennsylvania on May 4, 2015. Dr. Duckworth studies the construct of Grit and how to help students develop grit so that they succeed in school and in life. My view is that Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy helps people build grit by adopting attitudes that enable them to stick with their long term goals by tolerating discomfort, frustration and the many sacrifices that goal achievement requires. Give and listen and you too can learn more about grit and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy.
