Adam M Grant Libri

Dopo la morte del marito, Sheryl Sandberg si sentiva priva di gioia, descrivendo un "immenso buco nero" che limitava la sua capacità di pensare e respirare. Tuttavia, il suo amico Adam Grant le rivelò che esistono azioni concrete per guarire anche dalle esperienze più devastanti. La resilienza non è una qualità fissa, ma un muscolo che possiamo allenare. "Option B" unisce le esperienze personali di Sandberg con le ricerche di Grant su come trovare la forza per andare avanti nonostante le avversità. A partire dal momento straziante in cui ha trovato il marito, Dave Goldberg, senza vita, Sheryl condivide il suo profondo dolore e il senso di isolamento che ha provato. Tuttavia, il libro va oltre il lutto, esplorando le esperienze di persone che hanno superato difficoltà significative, come malattie, perdita del lavoro, aggressioni sessuali, disastri naturali e violenze. Le loro storie testimoniano la resilienza dello spirito umano e la capacità di riscoprire la gioia. La resilienza nasce dal nostro intimo, ma è anche alimentata dal supporto degli altri: anche dopo le esperienze più devastanti, è possibile crescere, trovare un significato più profondo e apprezzare di più la vita.

Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller and Times Self-Help Book of the Year, this work explores the vital skill of rethinking—how questioning our opinions can lead to excellence at work and wisdom in life. In a rapidly changing world, the ability to rethink and unlearn is more crucial than traditional intelligence. Recent global shifts have prompted many to reassess their beliefs, yet we often cling to the comfort of certainty instead of embracing the discomfort of doubt. This tendency can blind us to our limitations, as intelligence alone is not a safeguard against ignorance. The author, a top-rated professor and bestselling author, presents compelling ideas and evidence on embracing the joy of being wrong and fostering a culture of rethinking in various domains, including contentious issues like abortion and climate change. Through engaging examples, such as an international debate champion, a musician changing hearts, and a vaccine advocate, the text illustrates the power of mental flexibility, humility, and curiosity. Ultimately, it encourages readers to abandon outdated opinions and recognize that true wisdom lies in understanding what we do not know.

The book captivates readers with its intricate plot and well-developed characters. It explores themes of resilience and redemption, set against a backdrop of compelling historical events. The narrative weaves together personal struggles and societal challenges, offering a profound commentary on the human experience. With its engaging storytelling and emotional depth, it has resonated with a wide audience, solidifying its status as a bestseller.

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.

In Originals the author addresses the challenge of improving the world 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.

Being an original thinker can change the world. 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.

Čím myslíte, že je determinován úspěch? Je to talent, tvrdá dřina či snad dobré rodinné zázemí? Autor bestselleru Ještě to promysli vám ve své novince představí novou perspektivu toho, jak můžeme sebe i ostatní pozvednout do nečekaných výšin. Žijeme ve světě, který je posedlý talenty. Oslavujeme nadané studenty ve škole, ve sportu, zázračné děti v hudbě. Toto obdivování vrozených výhod nás ale vede k přehlížení vlastního potenciálu, podceňování rozsahu dovedností, jež se můžeme během života naučit, a cílů, kterých můžeme dosáhnout. A to může být chyba! Každý v sobě máme více potenciálu ke zlepšení, než co si myslíme. A vůbec nevadí, když u nás příležitost zrovna neklepe. Vždy existují způsoby, jak jí postavit dveře.

Zistite, ako odomknúť vlastný potenciál V súčasnosti je spoločnosť posadnutá talentovanými ľuďmi. Ospevujeme prirodzené nadanie, a pritom podceňujeme zručnosti, ktoré sa môžeme sami naučiť. Skrytý potenciál spája vedecké poznatky, prekvapivé postrehy a živé rozprávanie, ktoré nás zavedie zo školskej triedy do zasadacej miestnosti, z ihriska na olympijské hry a zo Zeme až do vesmíru. Ukazuje, že pokrok nezávisí ani tak od toho, ako sa snažíte, ako skôr od schopnosti učiť sa nové veci. Grant vysvetľuje, ako posilniť svoje charakterové zručnosti, vytvárať motivačné štruktúry a ako pomáhať ostatným ľuďom rozvíjať ich vlastný potenciál. Táto kniha odhaľuje, ako sa môže ktokoľvek zlepšiť prakticky v čomkoľvek. Skutočným meradlom vášho potenciálu nie je výška vrcholu, ktorý ste dosiahli, ale to, ako ďaleko ste kráčali, aby ste sa tam dostali.

In "Erfolgsgeheimnis Altruismus" zeigt Adam Grant, dass Selbstlosigkeit, Anstand und Empathie in der Arbeitswelt entscheidend für beruflichen Erfolg und persönliche Zufriedenheit sind. Anhand von Beispielen aus der Wirtschaft belegt er, dass Geber die Gesellschaft wertschätzender und menschlicher gestalten.

Menschen zu finden, mit denen die Chemie stimmt, trägt entscheidend dazu bei, dass wir uns glücklich fühlen und Erfolg haben. Aber wie gelingt uns das? Ähnliche Charaktereigenschaften sind dafür ebenso wenig nötig wie spontane Sympathie. Bestsellerautor Adam Grant zeigt, worauf es stattdessen ankommt, wenn wir schneller Bindungen knüpfen wollen, die stark sind und lange halten. In einer Zeit, in der wir einander häufiger online begegnen als im echten Leben und unsere Gesellschaft sich zunehmend polarisiert, liefert dieses Buch den Schlüssel zu Zusammenhalt und stabilen Beziehungen.
