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.

The motivations behind today's most successful leaders and entrepreneurs come to a simple yet decisive explanation: there are people who give, people who take, people who match, and people who fake. Our world is filled with these givers, takers, matchers and fakers. Amazingly, those who succeed (not only personally, but for their clients and companies) don't take or match. They give (although they're not necessarily philanthropic.) 'Give and Take' presents the fascinating secret of givers' success. The results are unequivocal: givers gain big. Jack Welch, Richard Branson, Jon Huntsman Sr. - all of them are givers.

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becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions.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
