Psychologist Angela Duckworth, author of Grit, joins Rainn Wilson to rethink what grit really means: consistent effort, feedback, and goals, supported by the right people and circumstances. They explore why environment shapes behavior, how Alcoholics Anonymous creates a powerful community for change, what learned helplessness can teach us about agency, and whether spiritual intelligence can be developed.
