Description

David DeSteno reveals how three powerful emotions - gratitude, compassion, and pride - are the key to achieving success. Contrary to popular belief, grit is not the only path to success, but rather a tool that can be cultivated and sustained with the right emotional toolkit.

DeSteno breaks down the mechanisms of perseverance built into our brains and shows how we can work with our emotions, instead of denying them, to achieve our goals with greater ease and deeper satisfaction than we would have thought possible.

By understanding the science of social emotions, DeSteno argues that the key to success lies not in willpower or self-denial, but in harnessing the power of our prosocial emotions to resist immediate temptations and achieve long-term gains.
