HIDDEN POTENTIAL - Adam Grant

Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things is the #1 New York Times bestseller by organizational psychologist Adam Grant (author of Think Again). We live in a world obsessed with innate talent - gifted students, natural athletes, child prodigies - but admiring people who start with advantages makes us overlook how far anyone can travel from where they begin. Grant argues that progress depends less on how hard you work than on how well you learn: growth is not about the genius you possess, it is about the character you develop. Drawing on research from the classroom to the boardroom, the playground to the Olympics and even outer space, he shows how to build the character skills and motivational structures needed to realize your own potential, and how to design systems that create real opportunities for people who have been underrated and overlooked. Praised by Serena Williams and James Clear (Atomic Habits), Hidden Potential offers a new framework for raising your aspirations and exceeding expectations - the true measure of potential is not the height of the peak you reach, but how far you climbed to get there.
