The Power of Grit

What makes people successful? At first glance, you might assume it’s money, status, or intelligence. But while those things can help, there’s a critical character trait that plays a role in our success. It’s called ‚Äúgrit,” or the ability to persevere through challenges to achieve long-term goals. This audio-only course is led by Dr. Cortland Dahl, a research scientist, meditation teacher, and Chief Contemplative Officer at HMI, along with special guest Dr. Richard Davidson, a pioneering neuroscientist. In this lesson, you’ll discover how grit leads to personal success. You’ll also reflect on the value of connecting with your purpose to get through life’s peaks and valleys. Finally, you’ll identify what truly matters to you - and how you can use that purpose to find more meaning in your daily life. After this course, you’ll have a stronger sense of the driving force behind your long-term goals.
