Where’s the evidence that grit predicts success?

I think what you're saying is that you and your peers have a shared definition of success, and within that, there are well-known ways to improve the likelihood of reaching that goal.

Certainly having goals (particularly ones that retain a healthy, well-rounded lifestyle) can help people avoid negative outcomes.

I think you're being a little bit weasly here. They do have a shared definition of success and you are part of that, as am I. The definition does not have to be identical to be useful.

That's fair, I think I was being, yep (in order to try to pick apart and perhaps critique what are widely agreed as successful achievements).

And you have a point there. Certainly people have different concrete definitions (and wishes) for success. I'm not your average struggle porn/ you can also be successful-morons :)

Anyone can use their own definition of success. Then develop a plan to get there, and execute the plan.
