      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.

    • 2023

      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.

      Dopo l'improvvisa morte del marito, Sheryl Sandberg era certa che lei e i suoi figli non avrebbero più potuto trovare la vera gioia. "Ero come sospesa nel vuoto" scrive, "un immenso buco nero che ti riempie il cuore e i polmoni, che limita la tua capacità di pensare e ti impedisce persino di respirare". Poi il suo amico Adam Grant, psicologo e docente alla Wharton Business School dell'Università di Pennsylvania, le disse che esistono azioni concrete che una persona può intraprendere per guarire e riprendersi anche dalle esperienze più devastanti. Non siamo nati con una quantità fissa di resilienza. La resilienza è un muscolo, che ciascuno di noi può costruire e allenare. "Option B" coniuga le intuizioni personali di Sheryl Sandberg con le ricerche illuminanti di Adam Grant su come trovare la forza di andare avanti nonostante le avversità. Partendo dal momento straziante in cui ha trovato il marito, Dave Goldberg, privo di vita sul pavimento della palestra, Sheryl apre il proprio cuore - e il proprio diario - per descrivere il profondo dolore e il senso di isolamento che ha provato subito dopo la sua morte. Ma "Option B" si spinge oltre l'elaborazione del lutto e indaga l'esperienza di persone che hanno saputo superare difficoltà significative come malattia, perdita del lavoro, aggressioni sessuali, disastri naturali, la violenza della guerra. Le loro storie testimoniano la capacità dello spirito umano di perseverare e..di riscoprire la gioia. La resilienza nasce dal nostro intimo, ma anche dal sostegno di chi ci sta intorno:persino dopo le esperienze più devastanti è possibile crescere, trovando un significato più profondo e imparando ad apprezzare di più le nostre vite.
