Por lo general, asumimos que la inteligencia es la habilidad de pensar y aprender, pero en un mundo que cambia rápidamente como el actual, las habilidades para repensar y desaprender empiezan a valorarse más.

No nacemos con una cantidad determinada de resiliencia, sino que ésta es un músculo que todos podemos desarrollar.

Anhand schlagender Beispiele aus der Wirtschaftswelt verdeutlicht der führende amerikanische Organisationspsychologe Adam Grant, dass vor allem Geber den Weg zu beruflichem Erfolg und persönlicher Zufriedenheit finden – und dass sie so unsere Arbeitswelt und Wettbewerbsgesellschaft ein Stück wertschätzender und menschlicher gestalten.
