Intelligence is often viewed as the ability to think and learn, but in today's fast-paced world, the skills of rethinking and unlearning may be even more crucial. Many of us prefer the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt, seeking out opinions that validate our beliefs rather than challenging them. This leads to brittle beliefs and a mindset akin to preachers or politicians, rather than scientists in search of truth. High intelligence can ironically make us blind to our own limitations, as we become more entrenched in our views. Organizational psychologist Adam Grant, a leading expert in opening minds, emphasizes the importance of arguing confidently while listening with humility. Through compelling examples, he demonstrates how to embrace the joy of being wrong, navigate difficult conversations, and foster environments that encourage lifelong learning. Stories of an international debate champion, a musician changing minds, and a vaccine advocate illustrate the power of persuasion and understanding. Ultimately, this work encourages us to let go of outdated beliefs and prioritize mental flexibility, reminding us that true wisdom lies in recognizing what we don’t know.

We live in a world that's obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn't knock, there are ways to build a door.Hidden Potential offers a new framework for raising aspirations and exceeding expectations. Adam Grant weaves together groundbreaking evidence, surprising insights, and vivid storytelling that takes us from the classroom to the boardroom, the playground to the Olympics, and underground to outer space. He shows that progress depends less on how hard you work than how well you learn. Growth is not about the genius you possess-it's about the character you develop. Grant explores how to build the character skills and motivational structures to realize our own potential, and how to design systems that create opportunities for those who have been underrated and overlooked.Many writers have chronicled the habits of superstars who accomplish great things. This book reveals how anyone can rise to achieve greater things. The true measure of your potential is not the height of the peak you've reached, but how far you've climbed to get there.

A groundbreaking look at why our interactions with others hold the key to success, from the New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential, Think Again, and Originals For generations, we have focused on the individual drivers of success: passion, hard work, talent, and luck. But in today’s dramatically reconfigured world, success is increasingly dependent on how we interact with others. In Give and Take, Adam Grant, an award-winning researcher and Wharton’s highest-rated professor, examines the surprising forces that shape why some people rise to the top of the success ladder while others sink to the bottom. Praised by social scientists, business theorists, and corporate leaders, Give and Take opens up an approach to work, interactions, and productivity that is nothing short of revolutionary.

"With [the book] 'Give and Take,' Adam Grant not only introduced a landmark new paradigm for success but also established himself as one of his generation's most compelling and provocative thought leaders. In [this book] he again addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all? Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt; how parents and teachers can nurture originality in children; and how leaders can build cultures that welcome dissent. Learn from an entrepreneur who pitches his start-ups by highlighting the reasons not to invest, a woman at Apple who challenged Steve Jobs from three levels below, an analyst who overturned the rule of secrecy at the CIA, a billionaire financial wizard who fires employees for failing to criticize him, and a TV executive who didn't even work in comedy but saved Seinfeld from the cutting-room floor. The payoff is a set of groundbreaking insights about rejecting conformity and improving the status quo."--Amazon.com

Learn how to recognize a great idea, to speak up for yourself, to choose the right time to act, and to manage fear and doubt by standing out from the crowd.

In 2015, Sheryl Sandberg faced the sudden loss of her husband, Dave Goldberg, leaving her and their two young children devastated. Convinced that joy and meaning were forever lost, she struggled with the reality of their first father-child activity without him. A friend encouraged her to embrace a new path, stating, "Option A is not available. So let's just kick the shit out of Option B." This sentiment reflects a universal truth: everyone encounters some form of loss, whether it be jobs, relationships, or loved ones. The critical question is how we confront these challenges. Thoughtful and revealing, the narrative intertwines Sandberg's personal journey with insights from social scientists like Adam Grant. It shares stories of individuals who have faced significant hardships—such as illness, divorce, and job loss—and emerged stronger. The book highlights the concept of post-traumatic growth, showing that many not only recover but thrive after adversity. It also discusses pre-traumatic growth, emphasizing that resilience can be cultivated even before tragedy strikes. Sandberg and Grant offer strategies for raising resilient children, fostering strong communities, and finding meaning and joy in life. Reflecting on her experience, Sandberg notes the profound changes brought by her loss, illustrating that even in the depths of sadness, it is possible to rise, breathe, and find hope again.
