Ten years ago, I published Grit. In those pages, I wrote down everything I'd discovered about world-class achievers, and how passion and perseverance set them apart. Since then, I've been studying the situations that make that kind of achievement possible. The thesis of this book is, simply, that your situation shapes you, but you have the power to shape it first. Pre-order SITUATED and get a personalized bookplate signed by me:

📱 Just seeing your phone—even face down—can lower test scores. Why? It drains mental energy. The farther the phone, the higher the GPA. This isn’t about willpower—it’s about situation modification. Change your environment. Change the outcome. That’s why I launched Phones in Focus—the first national study on school phone policies. 👉 Teachers & school leaders: Take the 5-min survey at #PhonesInFocus #StudentSuccess #BehavioralScience #AngelaDuckworth #FocusNotForce #EducationMatters
