Hidden Potential

The Science of Achieving Greater Things

De: Adam Grant

Brought to you by Penguin.

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great book

Useful and applicable insights to become a better version of yourself. Enjoy and apply it in your life!

Fantastic book

Enlightening and easy to follow, the opening chapters are some of the most profound I’ve read in any book.

Find the hidden potential in your team and yourself

Honestly I was expecting a self help book genre where he talks about finding your true potential but it’s more than that! This book covers finding the hidden gems around you and definitely made me rethink the way I conduct interviews and coach the team

Absolutely amazing

I liked everything from finish to end fully recommend for everyone to read it is very inside of the things that show hidden potential

Great insights

Very inspiring with great insights. Highly recommend it! Going to be helpful with myself as well as the education of my girls.

Loved it

I really enjoyed this book. Very practical and ideas you can apply in your daily life :)

Good foundations are vital but it does not mean great things cannot come later!

Overall loved it. The audible with clips from the various people was real nice. Got a lot of quites from this book! Lots of gems shared, even parenting advice. I think I need to listen to it again at another point in time.

Random thoughts put together with no cohesion

Random stories that are in depth but fails to bring it all together. No emphasis on a common theme.
