Hidden Potential

BOOK SUMMARY

The number-one 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. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. In Hidden Potential, Adam Grant offers a new framework for raising aspirations and exceeding expectations, showing that progress depends less on how hard you work than how well you learn.
