New Releases by Adam Grant

Kita hidup di dunia yang terobsesi dengan bakat. Kita memuja-muja siswa berbakat di sekolah, atlet genius dalam olahraga, dan anak ajaib dalam musik. Namun, mengagumi orang-orang yang memulai sesuatu dengan keunggulan bawaan lahir membuat kita mengabaikan jarak yang bisa kita tempuh untuk mencapai kejayaan. Kita meremehkan berbagai keterampilan yang bisa kita pelajari dan seberapa jauh kita bisa berkembang. Hidden Potential menawarkan kerangka kerja baru untuk meningkatkan aspirasi dan melampaui ekspektasi. Adam Grant merangkai bukti-bukti inovatif, wawasan mengejutkan, dan penceritaan detail yang membawa kita dari ruang kelas hingga ruang rapat direksi, taman bermain hingga Olimpiade, dan ruangan bawah tanah hingga luar angkasa. Dia menunjukkan bahwa kemajuan tidak bergantung pada seberapa keras Anda berusaha, melainkan seberapa baik Anda belajar. Pertumbuhan bukanlah tentang kegeniusan yang Anda miliki—tetapi tentang karakter yang Anda kembangkan. Buku ini mengeksplorasi cara membangun keterampilan karakter dan struktur motivasi untuk mewujudkan potensi diri kita, serta cara merancang system yang menciptakan peluang bagi mereka yang selama ini diremehkan dan diabaikan. Ukuran sebenarnya dari potensi Anda bukanlah seberapa tinggi puncak yang telah Anda capai, melainkan seberapa jauh Anda telah berusaha mendaki untuk mencapainya.

u003eu003e„Tato skvělá kniha rozbije vaše představy o tom, co je třeba ke zlepšení a úspěchu.“ — Serena Williams, vítězka 23 grandslamů ve dvouhřeu003cu003c # O knize Čím je determinován úspěch? Talentem, každodenní dřinou, nebo snad rodinným zázemím? Adam Grant nabízí překvapivý pohled na to, jak můžeme sebe i ostatní pozvednout do nečekaných výšin. Růst totiž vyžaduje mnohem víc než pouhý trénink a nastavení mysli. Závisí především na sadě dovedností, které bohužel nevědomky přehlížíme. Na základě rozsáhlých výzkumů i skutečných příběhů Grant dokazuje, že náš pokrok nespočívá ani tak v tvrdé práci, jako v rozvinutí schopnosti učit se novým věcem. Vysvětluje, jak v tomto směru posilovat charakter, vytvářet si motivační struktury a také jak napomáhat rozvíjení potenciálu v týmech, organizacích či školách. # V knize se dále dozvíte: - Váš růst nezáleží tolik na vrozené genialitě, jako na charakteru, který si vypěstujete. - Pokud se chcete zlepšovat, nežádejte ostatní o zpětnou vazbu, nýbrž o radu. - Proč vítězí záměrná hra a harmonická vášeň nad urputností a biflováním. - Data dokazují, že nejvíc se rozvíjíme, když pomáháme ve zlepšování ostatním. - Proč k plnému využití kolektivní inteligence týmu zdaleka nestačí brainstorming. - Každý z nás má v sobě skrytý potenciál – zjistěte, jak ho najít a využít v jakémkoli věku. # O autorovi Adam Grant (* 1981) přednáší psychologii a management na Pensylvánské univerzitě, jako konzultant pracuje mimo jiné pro Google, NBA nebo Gates Foundation. Je autorem bestselleru Ještě to promysli, tvůrcem podcastů a jedním z nejoblíbenějších řečníků na TED Talks. S manželkou Allison a třemi dětmi žije ve Filadelfii. # Více o knize melvil.cz/kniha-skryty-potencial

A Ciência das Grandes Conquistas Valorizamos os alunos superdotados na escola, os maiores atletas no desporto e as crianças prodígio na música. Num mundo que cada vez mais glorifica os "vencedores", esta é a verdade inquestionável: vivemos obcecados por talentos. Admirar esses, os que começam com vantagens inatas, leva-nos, muitas vezes, a não ter a noção da distância que nós próprios podemos percorrer. E todos, sem exceção, podemos ser mais e melhor. Adam Grant, autor bestseller internacional, diz-nos em Potencial Escondido como sonhar mais alto e superar expectativas. Com exemplos da sala de aula à sala de reuniões, do jardim infantil às Olimpíadas, do subsolo ao espaço sideral, este livro confirma que o crescimento pessoal não se prende com a genialidade inata, mas sim com o desenvolvimento de caráter e estruturas motivacionais. O que diz a crítica: "Um livro brilhante, que estilhaça as ideias preconcebidas sobre o que é preciso para ter sucesso." Serena Williams "Um livro que nos ensina a alcançar novos níveis de domínio e a desbloquear o nosso maior recurso: a nossa humanidade." Yo-Yo Ma, violoncelista "Este livro notável revela o que é preciso para se tornar uma versão melhor de si mesmo. Adam Grant indica o caminho para desenvolver talentos que antes pareciam além das suas capacidades, bem como para atingir metas que antes pareciam fora de alcance. James Clear, autor de Hábitos Atómicos "Li Potencial Escondido de uma assentada. Adorei-o e tenho pensado nele desde então, o que é o maior elogio que posso fazer a um livro. Este é o melhor trabalho do Adam Grant que irá inspirá-lo a alcançar sonhos maiores." Malcolm Gladwell, autor de A Chave do Sucesso "Um livro que deve ser lido por pais, líderes, treinadores... Adam Grant revela-lhe que tudo o que pensa sobre desenvolver o potencial está errado." Mark Cuban, empreendedor "Adam Grant leva o leitor num tour rápido pelos fatores que levam ao sucesso... Políticos e gestores deveriam prestar especial atenção à secção final do livro: como erguer estruturas que criem oportunidades para todos." Financial Times

Viele Autoren haben die Gewohnheiten von Supertalenten beschrieben, die Spitzenleistungen erbringen. Doch Adam Grant zeigt: Wir alle können Großes erreichen! Denn unser Fortschritt hängt nicht davon ab, wie hart wir arbeiten, sondern davon, wie gut wir lernen. Unsere Entwicklung ist keine Frage der Talente, die uns gegeben sind, sondern der Einstellung. Grants Forschungen beweisen: Wenn wir gezielt unsere vorhandenen Fähigkeiten stärken und neue Motivationsstrukturen aufbauen, können wir unsere verborgenen Potenziale heben und Dinge erreichen, die wir nicht für möglich gehalten hätten!

Bestsellerauteur over het benutten van je verborgen potentieel. Voor lezers van Atomic habits van James Clear, Grip van Rick Pastoor en Outliers van Malcolm Gladwell We leven in een wereld die geobsedeerd is door talent. We bewonderen getalenteerde studenten, atleten die schijnbaar moeiteloos tot wereldprestaties komen en wonderkinderen in de muziek. Maar het bewonderen van mensen die beginnen met aangeboren voordelen leidt ertoe dat we niet zien wat we zelf zouden kunnen bereiken. We onderschatten hoe goed we zouden kunnen worden als we nieuwe vaardigheden leren. We kunnen allemaal beter worden in het verbeteren van onszelf. Gebaseerd op wetenschappelijke inzichten en aan de hand van inspirerende verhalen laat Adam Grant zien hoe je jezelf en anderen kunt uitdagen om hoger te mikken en meer te bereiken dan je ooit voor mogelijk had gehouden. Vooruitgang hangt minder af van hoe hard je werkt dan van hoe goed je leert. Groei gaat niet over het genie dat je bezit - het gaat over het karakter dat je ontwikkelt. Grant onderzoekt hoe je de karaktereigenschappen en motivatiestructuren kunt opbouwen om je eigen potentieel te realiseren. En hoe je systemen kunt ontwerpen om kansen te creëren voor mensen die over het hoofd worden gezien en onderschat. De talenten en gewoontes van supersterren zijn al vaak beschreven. Dit boek onthult hoe iedereen in staat is om grote dingen te bereken. De echte maatstaf voor je potentieel is niet de hoogte van de piek die je hebt bereikt, maar hoe ver je bent geklommen om daar te komen.

Adam Grant ci rivela come possiamo aiutare noi stessi e gli altri a raggiungere vette inaspettate Viviamo in un mondo ossessionato dal talento. A scuola celebriamo gli studenti dotati, nello sport gli atleti nati e nella musica i bambini prodigio. Ma l’ammirazione per chi parte con vantaggi innati ci induce a trascurare le distanze che noi stessi possiamo percorrere. Sottovalutiamo le infinite abilità che possiamo acquisire, così come i livelli di bravura che possiamo raggiungere. Tutti possiamo diventare più bravi a migliorare. E quando l’opportunità non viene a bussarci, possiamo sempre costruire noi una porta. Il potenziale nascosto ci offre un nuovo percorso per innalzare le nostre aspirazioni e andare oltre le aspettative. Adam Grant intreccia evidenze scientifiche rivoluzionarie, intuizioni sorprendenti e un’avvincente narrazione che ci conduce dalle aule scolastiche alle sale riunioni, dal parco giochi alle Olimpiadi e dal sottosuolo al cosmo. Dimostra che il progresso non dipende tanto dall’impegno che profondiamo quanto dalla capacità che abbiamo di apprendere. La crescita non riguarda il genio con cui nasciamo ma il carattere che sviluppiamo. Grant ci spiega come costruire le capacità caratteriali e le strutture motivazionali con cui possiamo realizzare appieno il nostro potenziale e come progettare sistemi in grado di creare opportunità per tutti coloro che finora sono stati sottovalutati e trascurati. Molti autori hanno descritto nel dettaglio le abitudini delle grandi star che raggiungono traguardi strabilianti. Questo libro ci fa capire che chiunque può aspirare a più alti propositi e riuscire. La vera misura del nostro potenziale non è l’altezza della vetta che abbiamo raggiunto, ma la distanza che abbiamo percorso per arrivarci.

#1 New York Times Bestseller “This brilliant book will shatter your assumptions about what it takes to improve and succeed. I wish I could go back in time and gift it to my younger self. It would’ve helped me find a more joyful path to progress.” —Serena Williams, 23-time Grand Slam singles tennis champion The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again illuminates how we can elevate ourselves and others to unexpected heights. 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.

Aprenda a questionar as suas opiniões para alcançar a excelência no trabalho e a sabedoria na vida. Recomendado por Bill Gates. «Pensar Melhor é uma leitura obrigatória para quem deseja criar uma cultura de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento, seja em casa, no trabalho ouna escola. Num mundo cada vez mais pidido, as lições deste livro são mais importantes do que nunca.» — Bill e Melinda Gates. A inteligência é vista como a capacidade de pensar e aprender, mas num mundo em rápida mudança há outro conjunto de competências cognitivas que importa ressaltar: a capacidade de repensar e de desaprender. No dia a dia, tendemos a preferir o conforto da convicção ao desconforto da dúvida, e é normal preferimos ouvir opiniões que nos fazem sentir bem em vez de ideias que nos fazem pensar. E por isso rodeamo-nos de pessoas que concordam connosco, quando deveríamos procurar quem desafia o nosso processo de pensamento. O psicólogo organizacional Adam Grant é especialista em abrir a mente das pessoas, e tem por princípio argumentar como se estivesse certo, mas ouvir como se estivesse errado. Neste livro, revela que ser inteligente não é necessariamente uma bênção. Quanto mais brilhantes somos, mais cegos nos podemos tornar às nossas limitações. É por isso que, se o conhecimento é poder, então, saber o que não sabemos é sabedoria. «Brilhante! Vai seguramente fazê-lo repensar as suas decisões mais importantes.» - Daniel Kahneman, Prémio Nobel de Economia

"Success is not shared." We have all heard this phrase, and we blindly believe it and others like it. After all, how many times have we seen the most voracious and ambitious triumph over those who stop to think about others? Adam Grant claims the opposite: he maintains that true success is achieved by helping others. The generous, the cooperative, the ones who give more than they take, are the ones who get the respect, the best business relationships, and the fruits of their labor in the long run. In this book, Grant's approach to different ways of giving and receiving not only helps explain various success stories; he also provides new tools to develop negotiation strategies, create outstanding work teams, make the most of our contacts, and much more.

“Belajar membutuhkan fokus. Namun, melupakan pelajaran yang sudah didapat dan mempelajari hal baru membutuhkan lebih banyak hal—butuh keberanian dan meninggalkan kenyamanan. Adam Grant menyatukan penelitian dan penceritaan untuk membantu kita membangun otot intelektual dan emosional yang kita butuhkan, sehingga kita tetap cukup ingin tahu tentang dunia dan benar-benar bisa mengubahnya.” —Brené Brown, Ph.D., penulis buku terlaris #1 New York Times, Dare to Lead Adam Grant, penulis buku Originals, meneliti seni kritis berpikir ulang: belajar mempertanyakan pendapat Anda dan membuka pikiran orang lain, supaya Anda unggul di tempat kerja dan bijaksana dalam hidup.

Wer noch mal nachdenkt, geht schlauer durchs Leben Intelligenz wird üblicherweise verstanden als die Fähigkeit, zu denken und zu lernen. Doch in einer Welt, die sich rasant verändert, brauchen wir etwas ganz anderes genauso dringend: die Fähigkeit, Gedachtes zu überdenken und sich von Erlerntem wieder zu lösen. Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele aus dem täglichen Leben zeigt der internationale Bestsellerautor Adam Grant: Nur wer die Komfortzone fester Überzeugungen verlässt, wer Zweifel und unterschiedliche Ansichten zulässt, ohne sich in seinem Ego bedroht zu fühlen, eröffnet sich die großartige Chance, wirklich neue Erkenntnisse zu gewinnen. Wissen ist Macht. Erkennen, was wir nicht wissen können, ist Weisheit »Adam Grant ist der Meinung, dass geistige Offenheit eine Fähigkeit ist, die man lernen kann. Und von keinem kann man diese immens nützliche Fähigkeit besser lernen als von ihm. Die bemerkenswerten Einsichten seines brillanten Buches werden dazu führen, dass Sie Ihre Ansichten und Ihre wichtigsten Entscheidungen überdenken. Garantiert.« Daniel Kahneman, Nobelpreisträger und Bestsellerautor (Schnelles Denken, langsames Denken)

Imparare a mettere in discussione le proprie opinioni e aprire la mente degli altri è un’arte che può permetterci di raggiungere l’eccellenza sul lavoro e la saggezza nella vita. L’intelligenza è di solito vista come la capacità di pensare e imparare, ma in un mondo in rapido cambiamento c’è un’altra serie di abilità cognitive che potrebbe essere più importante: la capacità di ripensare e disimparare. Nella vita quotidiana troppi di noi preferiscono la comodità della convinzione al disagio del dubbio. Ascoltiamo le opinioni che ci fanno sentire bene, invece delle idee che ci costringono a impegnarci in una riflessione. Vediamo la divergenza di opinioni come una minaccia al nostro ego, piuttosto che come un’opportunità per imparare. Ci circondiamo di persone che sono d’accordo con le nostre conclusioni, quando dovremmo gravitare verso coloro che sfidano il nostro processo di pensiero. Il risultato è che le nostre convinzioni diventano fragili molto prima delle nostre ossa. L’intelligenza non è un buon rimedio e può anche essere una maledizione: è provato che essere bravi a pensare può renderci peggiori nel ripensare. Più brillanti siamo, più ciechi ai nostri limiti possiamo diventare. Da psicologo organizzativo, Adam Grant è un esperto nell’aprire la mente degli altri e la nostra, e uno dei principi guida nella sua attività di professore a Wharton è quello di argomentare come se avesse ragione ma ascoltare come se avesse torto. Con idee audaci e prove rigorose indaga su come possiamo abbracciare la gioia di avere torto, sfruttare i vantaggi sorprendenti della sindrome dell’impostore, introdurre sfumature nelle conversazioni più impegnative e costruire scuole, luoghi di lavoro e comunità di persone che continuano ad apprendere per tutta la vita. Imparerete come un campione internazionale di dibattito vince le discussioni, come un musicista nero persuade i suprematisti bianchi ad abbandonare l’odio, come un «sussurratore di vaccini» convince i genitori preoccupati a immunizzare i loro figli, e come Adam ha persuaso i fan degli Yankees a tifare per i Red Sox. Pensaci ancora rivela che non dobbiamo credere a tutto ciò che pensiamo o interiorizzare tutto ciò che sentiamo. È un invito ad abbandonare i punti di vista che non ci servono più e a privilegiare la flessibilità mentale, l’umiltà e la curiosità rispetto alla sciocca coerenza. Se la conoscenza è potere, sapere ciò che non sappiamo è saggezza.

“Adam Grant acredita que podemos aprender a ter a mente aberta. E ninguém melhor do que ele para ensinar essa habilidade valiosíssima neste livro maravilhoso.” – Daniel Kahneman, autor de Rápido e devagar “Leitura obrigatória para quem quer criar uma cultura de aprendizado e experimentação, seja em casa, no trabalho ou na escola.” – Bill Gates Adam Grant examina a crucial arte de repensar: aprender a questionar nossas opiniões e a abrir a mente das outras pessoas, o que pode nos levar à excelência no trabalho e à sabedoria na vida. A inteligência geralmente é vista como a capacidade de pensar e aprender, mas em um mundo em rápida mudança, há outro conjunto de habilidades cognitivas que podem ser mais importantes: a capacidade de repensar e desaprender. A maioria das pessoas prefere o conforto da convicção ao desconforto da dúvida. Em geral só damos ouvidos às opiniões que confirmam as nossas, descartamos ideias que nos façam pensar muito e vemos o desacordo como uma ameaça. O custo disso pode ser bem maior do que se imagina. Com ideias ousadas e evidências rigorosas, o psicólogo organizacional Adam Grant investiga neste livro como abraçar a alegria de estar errado, trazer nuances para conversas difíceis e incentivar o aprendizado contínuo. Você vai conhecer excelentes métodos para promover o repensamento, utilizados, por exemplo, por um músico negro que convence supremacistas brancos a abandonar o ódio e um médico que usa seu poder de persuasão para fazer os pais vacinarem seus filhos. Além disso, vai encontrar dicas práticas para ter conversas mais produtivas, mesmo que envolvam visões de mundo opostas. Pense de novo demonstra com clareza e bom humor que é possível manter a mente aberta sem perder o poder de convencimento nem a autoconfiança. Se conhecimento é poder, saber o que não sabemos é sabedoria.

Internationale bestsellerauteur Adam Grant over de waarde van heroverwegen en de kracht van twijfel. Als kennis macht is, is weten wat niet je niet weet wijsheid. Intelligentie wordt meestal gezien als het vermogen om te denken en te leren, maar in een snel veranderende wereld zijn er nog andere cognitieve vaardigheden die er misschien meer toe doen: het vermogen om te heroverwegen en af te leren. Te veel mensen verkiezen het comfort van een overtuiging boven het ongemak van twijfel. Adam Grant is een expert in het veranderen van de manier waarop we denken. Met gedurfde ideeën en gedegen onderzoek laat hij zien hoe we de vreugde van ongelijk hebben kunnen omarmen, geladen gesprekken kunnen nuanceren en scholen, werkplekken en gemeenschappen van levenslange leerlingen kunnen bouwen. Als kennis macht is, is weten wat we niet weten wijsheid.

„Ha a tudás hatalom, akkor tudni, hogy mit nem tudunk, maga a bölcsesség.” Miért olyan nehéz elszakadni az elképzeléseinktől és előítéleteinktől még akkor is, ha látjuk, hogy nem visznek előre? Az intelligenciát hagyományosan a gondolkodásra és tanulásra való képességnek tartjuk. Gyorsan változó környezetben, eddig nem tapasztalt kihívások esetén azonban ennél is többet számít, hogy képesek vagyunk-e megkérdőjelezni, amit eddig biztosra vettünk, és elfelejteni, amit korábban már megtanultunk, majd új szempontok alapján újrarendszerezni az információkat – vagyis az igazságot kereső tudós módjára gondolkodni. Adam Grant szervezetpszichológus arra keresi a választ, hogyan sajátíthatjuk el az újragondolás művészetét, és miként tehetjük az iskoláinkat, munkahelyeinket és egyéb közösségeinket az élethosszig tartó tanulás színhelyévé. Izgalmas történeteket, merész felvetéseket és meggyőző kutatási eredményeket ismertető könyvéből megtudhatjuk, hogyan maradjunk rugalmasak és nyitottak, és miként vehetjük rá erre a körülöttünk lévőket is. Ha el tudjuk engedni azokat a nézeteinket, amelyek már nem szolgálnak minket, közelebb juthatunk a kiválósághoz a munkánkban, és bölcsebb döntéseket hozhatunk az élet minden területén.

„Le recomand această carte minunată oamenilor din întreaga lume. Nimeni nu poate evita tristeţea, pierderile sau dezamăgirile vieţii, prin urmare, cea mai bună variantă este să ne găsim Planul B.“ MALALA YOUSAFZAI, câștigătoare a Premiului Nobel pentru Pace „Sheryl scrie despre propria experienţă devastatoare cu o sinceritate nemaiîntâlnită. Iar cu ajutorul lui Adam, își transformă povestea personală într-un ghid practic și convingător pentru oricine încearcă să dezvolte rezilienţa în propria viaţă, comunitate și companie. Este greu pentru un autor să ajungă la inimile cititorilor, dar este și mai dificil să îi ajute să ia măsuri concrete pentru un viitor mai bun. Planul B le face pe amândouă.“ BILL și MELINDA GATES, copreședinţi ai Fundaţiei Bill și Melinda Gates „Planul B este, în aceeași măsură, o carte plină de speranţă și sfâșietoare. Cuprinde povești despre durere și pierderi inimaginabile, dar vorbește și despre modul în care oamenii au totuși capacitatea de a îndura și chiar de a evolua. Această carte nu este numai o lectură captivantă, ci oferă și lecţii pe care toată lumea trebuie să le înveţe.“ ATUL GAWANDE, autorul cărţii Suntem muritori.

Persistence and creativity can lead to amazing things, as Leif the leaf discovers in this lovely storybook from Allison Sweet Grant and Adam Grant, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Originals. Leif is a leaf. A worried leaf. It is autumn, and Leif is afraid to fall. "All leaves fall in the fall," say the other leaves. But Leif is determined to find a different way down, and with his friend Laurel, he uses the resources around him to create a net, a kite, a parachute in hopes of softening his landing. The clock is ticking, the wind is blowing. What will happen when a gust of wind pulls Leif from his branch? In a culture that prizes achievement, kids are often afraid to fail--failing to realize that some of the very ideas that don't work are steps along the path to ones that will.
