Adam M. Grant

A groundbreaking look at why our interactions with others hold the key to success, from the bestselling author of 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.

The #1 New York Times bestseller that examines how people can champion new ideas—and how leaders can fight groupthink, from the author of Give and Take and co-author of Option B“Reading Originals made me feel like I was seated across from Adam Grant at a dinner party, as one of my favorite thinkers thrilled me with his insights and his wonderfully new take on the world.” —Malcolm Gladwell, author of Outliers and The Tipping Point“Originals is one of the most important and captivating books I have ever read, full of surprising and powerful ideas. It will not only change the way you see the world; it might just change the way you live your life. And it could very well inspire you to change your world.” —Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and author of Lean InWith 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 Originals 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becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions.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.

#1 New York Times Bestseller“THIS. This is the right book for right now. Yes, learning requires focus. But, unlearning and relearning requires much more—it requires choosing courage over comfort. In Think Again , Adam Grant weaves together research and storytelling to help us build the intellectual and emotional muscle we need to stay curious enough about the world to actually change it. I’ve never felt so hopeful about what I don’t know.”—Brené Brown, Ph.D., #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dare to LeadThe #1 New York Times bestselling author of Originals , Give and Take , and the forthcoming Hidden Potential examines the critical art of learning to question your opinions and open other people's minds, which can position you for excellence at work and wisdom in lifeIntelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn. We surround ourselves with people who agree with our conclusions, when we should be gravitating toward those who challenge our thought process. The result is that our beliefs get brittle long before our bones. We think too much like preachers defending our sacred beliefs, prosecutors proving the other side wrong, and politicians campaigning for approval--and too little like scientists searching for truth. Intelligence is no cure, and it can even be a being good at thinking can make us worse at rethinking. The brighter we are, the blinder to our own limitations we can become.Organizational psychologist Adam Grant is an expert on opening other people's minds--and our own. As Wharton's top-rated professor and the bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take , he makes it one of his guiding principles to argue like he's right but listen like he's wrong. With bold ideas and rigorous evidence, he investigates how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, bring nuance to charged conversations, and build schools, workplaces, and communities of lifelong learners. You'll learn how an international debate champion wins arguments, a Black musician persuades white supremacists to abandon hate, a vaccine whisperer convinces concerned parents to immunize their children, and Adam has coaxed Yankees fans to root for the Red Sox. Think Again reveals that we don't have to believe everything we think or internalize everything we feel. It's an invitation to let go of views that are no longer serving us well and prize mental flexibility over foolish consistency. If knowledge is power, knowing what we don't know is wisdom.

Adam Grant, the New York Times best-selling author of Give and Take, Originals, and Option B, went to the World Economic Forum in Davos to find out what the world’s most visionary and influential leaders had to say about power—and its transformative role in our society.What he learned there may surprise you.Grant delivers a heady mix of captivating interviews, compelling data, and his unmistakably incisive and actionable analysis, to give us a crash course in power that both inspires and instructs from the front lines. In interviews with two dozen CEOs, start-up founders, top scientists, and thought leaders—including top executives at Google, GM, Slack, and Goldman Sachs, the CEO of the Gates Foundation, and NASA’s former chief scientist—he shares hard-earned insights on how to succeed in this new era of hyper-linked power. He also explores how power is reshaping everything from the workforce, to the rise of women in the office, to the influence of scientists on policy.As pillars of traditional power are transformed by networks of informed citizens, the use of power is increasingly seen as a force for good in the world, from one that was once coveted to one that demands to be shared.

#1 New York Times bestseller"This brilliant book will shatter your assumptions about what it takes to improve and succeed. I wish I could go back in time and gift it to my younger self. It would've helped me find a more joyful path to progress."-Serena Williams, 23-time Grand Slam singles tennis championThe #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again illuminates how we can elevate ourselves and others to unexpected heights.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 distances we ourselves can travel. 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.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.

Uvriježeno je mišljenje da je samo nekim ljudima kreativnost urođena, dok većina ima malo originalnih misli. Neki su ljudi rođeni da budu vođe, a ostali su sljedbenici. Neki ljudi imaju sposobnost da utječu na druge, ali većina u tome ne uspijeva.U Kreativcima Adam Grant, sveučilišni profesor psihologije, vodeći američki autor bestselera razbija sve te pretpostavke. Pokazuje da svatko može unaprijediti svoju kreativnost. Otkriva kako možemo prepoznati ideje koje su doista originalne i predvidjeti koje će se od njih ostvariti. Govori nam kada da vjerujemo vlastitom osjećaju, a kad se valja osloniti na druge. Pokazuje nam kako možemo postati bolji roditelji njegujući originalnost kod svoje djece i bolji menadžeri potičući različitost mišljenja umjesto konformizma.Čitajući ovu knjigu vidjet ćete da najveći stvaraoci ne posjeduju nužno najdublja znanja, nego u prvom redu traže najšire perspektive. Uvjerit ćete se da se uspjeh nužno ne postiže tako da se bude ispred nego već strpljivim čekanjem pravog trenutka za djelovanje, ali i da odgađanje može biti dobro.Svi se svakodnevno susreću sa stvarima koje vole i sa stvarima koje treba promijeniti. Prve nam pružaju zadovoljstvo. One druge potiču našu želju da promijenimo svijet — u idealnom smislu, da ga učinimo boljim od onoga kakav smo zatekli. Međutim, pokušaji da se promijene duboko ukorijenjeni stavovi i ponašanja izazivaju strah. Prihvaćamo status quo jer se čini da su prave promjene zapravo nemoguće. Pa ipak, mi se usuđujemo zapitati: Može li pojedinac promijeniti stvari? I, u trenucima kad smo najhrabriji: Mogu li ta osoba biti ja?Grantov je odgovor odlučno da.

Intellekt obychno rassmatrivaetsja kak sposobnost dumat i uchitsja, no v bystro menjajuschemsja mire est esche odin nabor kognitivnykh navykov, kotorye mogut imet bolshee sposobnost pereosmyslivat i pereuchivatsja. V povsednevnoj zhizni slishkom mnogie iz nas predpochitajut komfort ubezhdenij neudobstvu somnenij. My prislushivaemsja k mnenijam, kotorye zastavljajut nas chuvstvovat sebja khorosho, a ne k idejam, prizyvajuschim zadumatsja. My rassmatrivaem raznoglasija kak ugrozu nashemu ego, a ne kak vozmozhnost uchitsja. My okruzhaem sebja ljudmi, kotorye soglasny s nashimi vyvodami, togda kak nam sleduet tjagotet k tem, kto brosaet vyzov nashemu myslitelnomu protsessu.Esli znanie - eto sila, to znanie togo, chego my ne znaem, - eto mudrost. V etom uveren professor Adam Grant. Ego novaja kniga Osvoit navyk, kotoryj Rej Dalio v svoikh "Printsipakh" nazyvaet kljuchevym - umenie smotret na realnost bez predubezhdenij.Otkryt v sebe vnutrennego beskonechno ljubopytnogo, nastroennogo skepticheski, v meru uverennogo v sebe. Nauchitsja menjat vzgljad na veschi.Formirovat soderzhatelnye, a ne mezhlichnostnye konflikty, chtoby vesti svoju komandu ili gruppu k poisku reshenija.Podtalkivat drugikh ljudej k tomu, chtoby oni peresmatrivali ustojavsheesja videnie i myslili v ramkakh nauchnogo podkhoda.Sozdavat soobschestvo ljudej, kotorye uchatsja novomu v techenie vsej zhizni.Obo vsem etom Adam Grant rasskazyvaet uvlekatelno, s jumorom i primerami iz samykh raznykh sfer, s blestjasche podobrannymi illjustratsijami i grafikami, kotorye sposobstvujut legkosti chtenija.Kniga Adama Granta pokazyvaet, chto nam ne nuzhno verit vsemu, chto my dumaem, ili usvaivat vse, chto chuvstvuem. Eto priglashenie otkazatsja ot vzgljadov, kotorye bolshe ne sluzhat nam, i tsenit umstvennuju gibkost vyshe glupoj posledovatelnosti.
