Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things Book by Adam Grant
"This remarkable book has the power to challenge your preconceived notions about personal growth and success. If only I could turn back time and give it to my younger self, it would have guided me towards a more fulfilling path of progress." - Serena Williams, 23-time Grand Slam singles tennis champion
The author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, Think Again, sheds light on how we can elevate ourselves and others to unexpected levels of achievement.
In our society, there is an obsession with innate talent. We admire gifted students, natural athletes, and child prodigies in various fields. However, this admiration for those who possess inherent advantages often blinds us to the potential within ourselves. We underestimate our capacity to learn new skills and reach high levels of proficiency. The truth is, we all have the ability to improve and grow. Even when opportunities seem scarce, there are ways to create our own paths.
Hidden Potential presents a fresh perspective on raising aspirations and surpassing expectations. Adam Grant combines groundbreaking research, surprising insights, and captivating storytelling to take us on a journey from classrooms to boardrooms, playgrounds to the Olympics, and even underground to outer space. He demonstrates that progress is not solely determined by the amount of effort we put in, but rather by our ability to learn effectively. True growth is not about possessing innate genius, but about developing our character. Grant explores how we can cultivate character skills and create motivational structures to unlock our own potential. Additionally, he delves into the importance of designing systems that provide opportunities for those who have been underestimated and overlooked.
While many authors have documented the habits of superstars who achieve extraordinary things, this book reveals that anyone can rise to accomplish greatness. The true measure of our potential lies not in the height of the peak we reach, but in the distance we have climbed to get there.
