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.

El autor del bestseller Piénsalo otra vez nos explica cómo sacar el máximo de nosotros mismos y de los demás para lograr cosas inimaginablesEste libro comienza con un pequeño milagro: en 1991, un grupo de chicos afroamericanos de un conflictivo instituto de Harlem ganó al todopoderoso colegio privado Dalton en el Campeonato Nacional de Ajedrez para Alumnos de Secundaria. Detrás de ese éxito inesperado se encontraba el joven maestro ajedrecista Maurice Ashley, que demostró dos cosas: que el talento no es innato y que la motivación y el desarrollo del carácter son clave para el éxito, incluso cuando todo parece estar en contra. El psicólogo organizacional Adam Grant está convencido de que querer es poder, pero también es consciente de que, en ocasiones, uno puede perder de vista sus objetivos y venirse abajo ante las adversidades. Es ahí cuando entra en juego la educación como gran agente revulsivo. Como el propio autor confiesa, «si hubiera juzgado mi potencial por mis primeros fracasos, me habría rendido enseguida. Lo que aprendí por el camino me ayudó a crear mis propios andamiajes para avanzar en el futuro». A través de anécdotas de gran valor testimonial y de su larga experiencia como investigador y docente, Grant apuesta por la importancia de la educación del carácter, la motivación y la igualdad de oportunidades para formar personas que no sólo logren tener éxito, sino que además se sientan realizadas.

Dicen que la gente de éxito tiene tres cosas en común: motivación, capacidad y oportunidad. Si queremos alcanzar el éxito, necesitaremos además trabajo, talento y suerte. Hay, sin embargo, un cuarto ingrediente, un ingrediente crítico pero que a menudo pasa desapercibido: el éxito depende en gran parte de cómo interactuamos con los demás. Cada vez que interactuamos con alguien, debemos elegir entre intentar conseguir el máximo valor posible para nosotros o contribuir a que el otro consiga valor sin preocuparnos por lo que recibimos. Es decir, elegir entre ser «receptores » o ser «donantes». Dar y recibir te descubrirá la clave del éxito de quienes se vuelcan en los demás y cambiará para siempre tus percepciones sobre el triunfo y el fracaso. Pero te enfrentará a una paradoja: poner en práctica las ideas de este libro no te funcionará si sólo te mueve la ambición por conseguir el éxito.

En nuestra vida cotidiana, preferimos la comodidad de la convicción a la incomodidad de la duda y preferimos escuchar las opiniones que nos hacen sentir bien a las ideas que nos obligan a reflexionar. Vemos el desacuerdo como una amenaza personal, en lugar de una oportunidad para aprender, y nos rodeamos de gente con la que estamos de acuerdo, cuando deberíamos acercarnos a quienes ponen en duda nuestras certezas. Pensamos como predicadores que defienden creencias sagradas o como políticos en campaña que buscan la aprobación de los demás, pero no como científicos en busca de la verdad. Este libro trata del valor de reconsiderar las cosas. Muchas veces, consideramos que la inteligencia es la capacidad de pensar y aprender. Pero en un mundo tan cambiante como el actual hay habilidades cognitivas más importantes: la capacidad de repensar y de desaprender. Porque la inteligencia no es la solución. Y tal vez sea una maldición: es posible que quienes son buenos pensando sean malos repensando, que cuanto más brillantes seamos, más ciegos estemos ante nuestras limitaciones. El psicólogo Adam Grant es un experto en abrir las mentes de los demás. Su consejo: habla como si tuvieras razón y escucha como si estuvieras equivocado. Este libro explica cómo.

Think Again is a book about the benefit of doubt, and about how we can get better at embracing the unknown and the joy of being wrong. Evidence has shown that creative geniuses are not attached to one identity, but constantly willing to rethink their stances and that leaders who admit they don't know something and seek critical feedback lead more productive and innovative teams.New evidence shows us that as a mindset and a skilllset, rethinking can be taught and Grant explains how to develop the necessary qualities to do it. Section 1 explores why we struggle to think again and how we can learn to do it as individuals, arguing that 'grit' alone can actually be counterproductive. Section 2 discusses how we can help others think again through learning about 'argument literacy'. And the final section 3 looks at how schools, businesses and governments fall short in building cultures that encourage rethinking.In the end, learning to rethink may be the secret skill to give you the edge in a world changing faster than ever.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential, Originals, and Give and Take examines the critical art of rethinking: 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 more: 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 curse: 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.
