Take a tip from high achievers: prioritize one thing at a time with deliberate practice.

030

Angela Duckworth @angeladuckworth.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

I believe in personality plagiarism. Why? Because imitation is not only the highest form of flattery, it’s also one of the fastest forms of learning.

120

Angela Duckworth @angeladuckworth.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

My advice: Prioritize one thing at a time. Do something that you can't yet do with complete concentration and feedback every single day with consistency.

020

Angela Duckworth @angeladuckworth.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

More and more, I’m convinced that the vast majority of world-class performers struggle for years to figure out where they’re heading.

Angela Duckworth @angeladuckworth.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

One thing has become more apparent to me over time: Gritty people are more dependent on other people, not less.

Angela Duckworth @angeladuckworth.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Sampling is exactly what all young people need and deserve to do so that one day, they will know enough about themselves and the world to stick with something they love.

Angela Duckworth @angeladuckworth.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Hope is not lost. It’s right here. If there is a young person in your life, Human Raised is for you.

Angela Duckworth @angeladuckworth.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

A mentor believes in you before you believe in yourself. The right words from the right person, at the right moment, can change a child's trajectory.

Angela Duckworth @angeladuckworth.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

Grit ≠ Talent. After two decades of research, we know that the correlation between grit and any measure of talent is about zero. It's passion and perseverance that make super achievers.

040

Angela Duckworth @angeladuckworth.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Me or we? Both. I’ve learned so much from Luke Burgis and his new book The One and the Ninety-Nine. The solid self, he says, is knowing who you are as an individual while also being connected to and shaped by your community. Amen amen! amzn.to/4u5yYbs

World-class performers don't say "I'm practicing" – they say "I'm winning the Super Bowl." They fuse boring, everyday tasks with their biggest goal.

School librarians, how many books were checked out this year compared to last? We want to know! And we want to see if these numbers relate to school cell phone policies! In just 5 minutes, you can help advance the research on phones and education!!

Parasocial was Cambridge Dictionary’s word of the year in 2025. And with good reason. AI chatbots interact with us “as if” they were human. With Lennart Meincke, Dan Shapiro, Ethan Mollick, Lilach M., Christophe Van den Bulte, Dr. Robert Cialdini, I published a new study in @pnas.org.

My advice to teachers in the age of AI: Be techno curious, AI literate, and bring your students along with you.

I love this book :) It might change your life. It explains why so many of us are substituting typing for talking, solitude for socializing, and one-to-many posting for one-on-one conversation. Beautifully written, meticulously crafted, and winningly earnest. a.co/d/04ydGlXr

My research shows that the situation shapes you—but you have the power to shape it first. How? 1. Set up your personal space. 2. Pick your peers. 3. Attract mentors. 4. Choose your culture. Getting situated means finding the people and places that bring out your best. Pre-order: a.co/d/05PbeMi6

Angela Duckworth @angeladuckworth.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

To me, the moral of this story is that in addition to grit, all of us need a place in the world where we can do something we love, with our whole hearts, and in serving others discover our best selves. Check out Service Ready by the amazing Molly Irani! www.simonandschuster.com/books/Servic...
