Story
Why do so many of us stop learning new skills as adults? Are we afraid to be bad at something? Have we forgotten the sheer pleasure of beginning from the ground up? Inspired by his young daughter’s insatiable curiosity, Tom Vanderbilt embarks on a yearlong quest of learning - purely for the sake of learning. Rapturously singing Spice Girls songs in an amateur choir, losing games of chess to eight-year-olds, and dodging scorpions at a surf camp in Costa Rica, Vanderbilt tackles five main skills, but learns so much more.

What if you could exploit the plasticity of personality to change yourself in specific ways? Would you choose to become less neurotic? More self-disciplined? Less shy? Until now, we’ve been told that we’re stuck with the personality we were born with: The introvert will never break out of their shell, the narcissist will be forever trapped gazing into the mirror.

As high achievers, we’ve been conditioned to believe that the path to success is paved with relentless work. That if we want to overachieve, we have to overexert, overthink, and overdo. That if we aren’t perpetually exhausted, we’re not doing enough. But lately, working hard is more exhausting than ever. And the more depleted we get, the more effort it takes to make progress. Stuck in an endless loop of “Zoom, eat, sleep, repeat”, we’re often working twice as hard to achieve half as much.

There's an 80 percent chance you're poor. Time poor, that is. Four out of five adults report feeling that they have too much to do and not enough time to do it. These time-poor people experience less joy each day. They laugh less. They are less healthy, less productive, and more likely to divorce. In one study, time stress produced a stronger negative effect on happiness than unemployment. How can we escape the time traps that make us feel this way and keep us from living our best lives?

Tell a stranger that you talk to yourself, and you’re likely to get written off as eccentric. But the truth is that we all have a voice in our head. When we talk to ourselves, we often hope to tap into our inner coach but find our inner critic instead. When we’re facing a tough task, our inner coach can buoy us up: Focus - you can do this. But, just as often, our inner critic sinks us entirely: I’m going to fail. They’ll all laugh at me. What’s the use?

What is genius? The word evokes iconic figures like Einstein, Beethoven, Picasso, and Steve Jobs, whose cultural contributions have irreversibly shaped society. Yet Beethoven could not multiply. Picasso couldn’t pass a fourth grade math test. And Jobs left high school with a 2.65 GPA. The Hidden Habits of Genius explores the meaning of this contested term, and the unexpected motivations of those we have dubbed "genius" throughout history, from Charles Darwin and Marie Curie to Leonardo Da Vinci and Andy Warhol to Toni Morrison and Elon Musk.

Publisher's Summary
Harness the hidden power of kindness.
Kindness isn’t merely about getting along with people and being nice. It’s a game changer in business, the door opener to opportunity, and the key to authenticity and confidence. It’s a superpower that can be honed through an intentional lifestyle of kindness and is especially important in these divisive times.
Can something as simple as kindness really be the answer?
Through years of developing her own kindness practices and studying those of others, Good Morning America correspondent and anchor Adrienne Bankert has experienced firsthand the unbeatable power of kindness and witnessed its transformative impact on others.
Adjusting our perspective from being closed off and self-centered to a mindset of kindness ripples into a staggering amount of personal fulfillment and growth. No matter our age or ethnicity, where we come from, or how much money we make, every one of us can be kind. Every one of us can be a change agent.
Your Hidden Superpower will help you:
- See simple acts of kindness from a new and empowering perspective;
- Learn how to make kindness a habit and experience more peace, inspiration, and impact;
- Engage kindness at work and enjoy remarkable opportunities - plus, know how to get from “here” to “there” quickly;
- Activate kindness as a force to reconnect you to your authentic self, replenish your passion and creativity, and find your voice.

Great content . Thought provoking. A MUST READ !!!
This girl is from Fort Worth yall. I don't care what she says. 😊 I follow her on social media 😎
When it comes to dealing with and working with other guys/men, I certainly have my own views on kindness, but this is definitely another perspective to look at. Been an admirer of Adrienne since she came to Texas. She carries a light from within and is a great role model for women of color to look up to .

I am Kind
Highly recommend this book. She gives Golden advice that I wish I would have learned growing up. Her book helped me deal with a a problem at work and improve the quality of my relationships. I got the Audiobook and I think I’ll get the hardcover book because I don’t want to forget or miss any golden nuggets. This book came to me at the perfect time when I needed it the most in my life. The author is phenomenal in her book and during a book interview that I got to see virtually. She is a genuine and kind.

Good Morning Gorgeous AB
The daily smelt which lays the foundation for exhibiting grace through kindness enlists the charge of the milennial medias specialist Adrienne Bankert with thoughtput reactions to everyday situations in cosmopolitan living.
A traveler-by-profession is successful when her gut instinct is to throw her princess scepter out on the threshing floor to pinpoint the needles in the haystacks as gold, and find seamsters among the sheppard children to knit the mid-drift playclothes fit for drummers, slingshot warriors or hunter-gathers, smokestack signalers, and time-traveled innovators.
A.B., as some know her, inspires people not just from in her circle to vet what is inside anyone to accomplish blessings for others, fulfilling needs through improvised empathy, and adjudicating stifling emotions, attitudes, or actions through mitigated contrition with least derogatory-restrictive responses. All praise to our professional journalist/anchor Adrienne B. for her humanity, which she reads out as the Princess of Villiage Marathoners championning the cause to uplift many into understanding the intricacies of faith-building from kindness principles transmitting grace.

What being kind truly looks like.
This is the best book I’ve ever read. Honestly. This is not a self help book, it is one journalist’s explanation of what it means to be kind.
I’ve been saying in 2020, just do the next right thing (-Mr Rogers I think) After reading her book, she has put into words my intention of that phrase.
I’m going to become more kind. More kind to others, more kind the world around me and mostly, more kind to myself.

What the world needs now
In a world of chaos, disruption, discord, tribal lines, and a lack of compassion or understanding of others, this book and Adrienne’s voice is exactly the remedy we need. She speaks about leaving behind a kindness legacy, to consider even the smallest actions not just the big, and she perfectly describes the difference between kindness and being “nice”, and how to avoid the trap of being walked all over by those who aren’t able to see kindness as the strength it is, and not a weakness. I’ve actually experienced Adrienne’s kindness in person. We met by chance in a Beverly Hills nail salon, when I was having my nails done to sing at the 2020 Oscar ceremony as Norwegian Elsa in Frozen, and she was having hers done to report on the Oscars. She helped me relax and put me at ease about the pressure of the show, and that I deserved to be there on that stage. I’ll always be so grateful to her. And by the way, she’s absolutely breathtaking in person as well as on audible.
And now with lockdown and a changed world, and acting and singing in public is pretty much on hold, this book was exactly what I needed at this time. It’s so easy to become naval gazing and self pitying, instead of looking up and seeing what good we can bring to others, which in turn makes us feel more hopeful and opens up doors and connections we hadn’t thought of. I know for sure that the times I’ve switched off my ego and shown kindness to others, it has always come back around with kindnesses in return by someone. The old saying is true, “one good turn deserves another”, but we can change it to “One kindness deserves another”.
I’d recommend this book to anyone wishing to elevate and lead with love and compassion, who’d like to leave the world a kinder place than you found it, who thrive when in a positive environment and who’d like to create that for others. My goal is definitely to leave behind my own kindness legacy. Thank you Adrienne!
