GRIT is a big topic at the college where I work, and I was eager to learn more about the topic without having to plow through the whole book (which several colleagues have been doing for a long time.) I found that this summary was clear and easy to understand and provided the main points of Duckworth's research -- allowing me to talk knowledgeably with colleagues without investing hours and hours slogging through the book. Great job! Duckworth will be coming to our college to speak this spring and I feel confident I can attend her lecture and understand her concepts based on what I read here.
