Duckworth’s TED talk is among the most viewed of all time. Her first book Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance was a #1 New York Times bestseller and has sold more than 5 million copies worldwide. Her second book is called Situated: Find the People and Places That Bring Out Your Best.“SITUATED HIT ME AS HARD AS DUCKWORTH’S FIRST BOOK GRIT. In this follow-up, she drives home a key point: we are not the same person in every situation. Being human means bringing different versions of ourselves to the arena, and the best may depend on circumstances. Brilliantly insightful, Situated made me think about the seemingly random nature of success. Maybe being gritty isn’t enough? Maybe being in the right situation is just as important, or more? Whatever you conclude, you’ll agree after reading this book that it’s a slam dunk. I loved it.” —Steve Kerr, four-time NBA Champion as Coach of the Golden State WarriorsIn her first book, Duckworth showed that a common denominator of successful strivers is a blend of passion and perseverance she dubbed “grit.” This second book springs from her deepening realization that grit, while necessary, is sometimes not sufficient. How you situate yourself to meet a challenge can be crucial.Her in-depth research reveals the enormous influence wielded by the objects within arm’s reach, your peers and mentors, and even your zip code. Though you’re often told to make the best of your situation, it is far, far better to make your situation better first.In Situated, you’ll discover: Why your personality changes, sometimes dramatically, from one situation to another—and how you can harness that shift; The secret to conquering temptation without willpower; Why taking the less effortful path can feel like cheating but often solves a stubborn problem; How the company you keep shapes the person you become; The most effective ways to help others succeedHighlighting four essential elements of successful situations, Duckworth shows how high performers like Taylor Swift, Michael Phelps, and Jerry Seinfeld create situations that make it easier to excel. And, with disarming honesty, she shares her own struggles with burnout and marriage—and how learning to change her situation, not herself, made all the difference. Whatever it is you want to achieve, there’s a situation that can make your journey easier.It takes effort to make your situation your ally—but a little effort goes a long way...when you get situated. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/59384db0-a89d-11f1-a4a1-eb59356bc08b-rimg-w493-h740-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/santa-monica/angela-duckworth-with-rainn-wilson/100001994115596429 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, Contests, Entertainment, Sports, Theatre, literary-art, performances - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 2 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes - Location: The Ann and Jerry Moss Theater--New Roads School - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 56.05, max: 105.61, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Santa Monica - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: The Ann and Jerry Moss Theater--New Roads School - **lat**: 34.0312888 - **long**: -118.461258 - **full address**: The Ann and Jerry Moss Theater--New Roads School, Herb Alpert Educational Village, Santa Monica, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Angela Duckworth with Rainn Wilson - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/3708c765d64e2e203e51586adac17d60db69cb93d182213a8bcca9eb794b6cd8-rimg-w1200-h600-dc161515-gmir.jpg?v=1784193388 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Angela Duckworth with Rainn Wilson being held? - **A:** Angela Duckworth with Rainn Wilson takes place on Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 09:15 pm at The Ann and Jerry Moss Theater--New Roads School, Herb Alpert Educational Village, Santa Monica, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Angela Duckworth with Rainn Wilson? - **A:** Angela Duckworth with Rainn Wilson is organized by Live Talks Los Angeles. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Angela Duckworth with Rainn Wilson", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/3708c765d64e2e203e51586adac17d60db69cb93d182213a8bcca9eb794b6cd8-rimg-w1200-h600-dc161515-gmir.jpg?v=1784193388", "startDate": "2026-09-10T20:00:00-07:00", "endDate": "2026-09-10T21:15:00-07:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/santa-monica/angela-duckworth-with-rainn-wilson/100001994115596429", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "The Ann and Jerry Moss Theater--New Roads School", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Herb Alpert Educational Village", "postalCode": "90404", "addressLocality": "Santa Monica", "addressRegion": "CA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "34.0312888", "longitude": "-118.461258" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Angela Duckworth in conversation with Rainn Wilson discussing her book, \"Situated: Find the People and Places That Bring Out Your Best\"", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-07-16", "availabilityEnds": "2026-09-10T21:15:00-07:00", "validFrom": "2026-07-16", "lowPrice": "56.05", "highPrice": "105.61", "price": "56.05", "url": "https://allevents.in/santa-monica/angela-duckworth-with-rainn-wilson/100001994115596429" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-07-16", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-07-16", "url": "https://allevents.in/santa-monica/angela-duckworth-with-rainn-wilson/100001994115596429", "price": "56.05", "name": "General Admission + Signed Book" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/SoldOut", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-07-16", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-07-16", "url": "https://allevents.in/santa-monica/angela-duckworth-with-rainn-wilson/100001994115596429", "price": "105.61", "name": "Reserved Section Seat + 2 books" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Live Talks Los Angeles", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/live-talks-los-angeles/22511424", "description": "A series of on-stage conversations featuring writers, actors, musicians, humorists, artists, chefs, scientists and thought leaders in business.Our mission is simple: Bring these great speakers to Los Angeles, and present them in some of the city’s wonderful venues.
