New Releases by Adam Grant

#1 New York Times bestselling author Adam Grant illuminates the surprising science behind strong connections A vibe—a special connection between people that creates a spark—is an engine of happiness and success. Yet building meaningful ties is one of the most pressing problems of our time. As social media forces face-to-face interaction behind digital screens, communication gets outsourced to AI, and the world becomes more polarized than ever, our loneliness crisis shows no signs of slowing. To reveal how we can forge faster, stronger, and longer bonds, Grant offers groundbreaking studies, expert insights, and myth-busting stories. Filled with the eye-opening takeaways that have brought millions of readers to his books, Vibe teaches us that similarity is not necessary for solidarity, chemistry doesn’t always happen quickly, and closeness doesn’t always take time. Along the way, Grant introduces us to a crew of astronauts who learned to trust people they don’t like, a comedy troupe that swears by taking time apart as a key to staying together, a band that grew closer by learning to fight more, and a journalist who designed a gathering that led to seventy-eight marriages. He also opens up about his personal struggles to find his place as a shy introvert and the lessons that propelled his transformation into an enthusiastic convener. Through these examples and more, Grant uncovers the keys to creating deeper relationships and tighter communities. Vibe will change how you approach your interactions. No matter how good you are at connecting, you can always get better—and help others get better too.

Existuje milion důvodů, proč by životní koučka Goldie Collinsová neměla chodit s Fletcherem Huxleym. Fletcher je nabručená legenda ragby, která se po nepovedeném angažmá v zámoří snaží znovu nastartovat kariéru v Americe. Možná má stehna jako hrom, přitažlivá tetování a zadek z oceli, ale taky je jedním z Goldiiných největších nepřátel. Ovšem jeho nápad má jedno obrovské plus – Fletcher je novým spoluhráčem Goldiina bratra Silase. A ti dva se už teď nesnášejí. Navíc si Silas zvykl míchat se sestře do milostného života – a to neměl dělat. Takže jít spolu na rande, jen aby vytočila bráchu? Zatímco si Fletcher bude myslet, že to jejich týmu pomůže? Goldie neváhá. Za měsíc se stěhuje za prací do Londýna a bude to přece jenom jedna schůzka. Co by se mohlo pokazit?

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.

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!

Dalam Originals, Adam Grant membahas tantangan untuk memperbaiki dunia, tetapi dari perspektif menjadi orisinal: memilih untuk memperjuangkan ide dan nilai-nilai baru yang melawan arus, melawan konformitas, dan menentang tradisi yang sudah usang. Bagaimana kita dapat menciptakan ide, kebijakan, dan praktik baru tanpa mempertaruhkan semuanya? Menggunakan studi dan kisah mengejutkan yang mencakup bisnis, politik, olahraga, dan hiburan, Grant mengeksplorasi cara mengenali ide yang baik, berbicara tanpa dibungkam, membangun koalisi, memilih waktu yang tepat untuk bertindak, dan mengelola rasa takut serta keraguan. Grant juga menunjukkan bagaimana orangtua dan guru dapat memupuk orisinalitas pada anak-anak; juga bagaimana para pemimpin dapat membangun budaya yang menyambut perbedaan pendapat. Kita diajak untuk belajar dari seorang pengusaha yang mempresentasikan startup-nya dengan menyoroti alasan untuk tidak berinvestasi, seorang karyawan wanita di Apple yang menantang Steve Jobs, seorang analis yang membalikkan aturan kerahasiaan di CIA, dan seorang miliarder ahli keuangan yang memecat karyawan karena gagal mengkritiknya. Hasilnya adalah serangkaian wawasan inovatif tentang menolak konformitas dan memperbaiki status quo. *** “Penuh dengan wawasan baru tentang berbagai topik yang penting bagi kehidupan pribadi dan profesional kita.” —The New York Times DealBook “Originals adalah salah satu buku terpenting dan paling menarik yang pernah saya baca, penuh dengan ide-ide yang mengejutkan dan ampuh. Buku ini tidak hanya akan mengubah cara Anda melihat dunia; buku ini mungkin juga akan mengubah cara Anda menjalani hidup. Dan buku ini bisa sangat menginspirasi Anda untuk mengubah dunia Anda.” —Sheryl Sandberg, COO Facebook dan penulis Lean In #Penulis: Adam Grant #Penerbit: Penerbit Gramedia Pustaka Utama #Tahun Terbit: 2026 #Alih Bahasa: Almadiva Raissa Putri #Editor: Heru Margianto #Desain Sampul: Suprianto #ISBN: 978-602-06-8783-4 #ISBN Digital: 978-602-06-8784-1 (PDF) #Kategori: Bisnis & Ekonomi 16+ #Deskripsi Ringkas: Buku ini membahas tentang bagaimana individu dapat mengidentifikasi ide-ide orisinal dan mengambil tindakan untuk memperjuangkannya tanpa mengabaikan realitas, serta cara pemimpin menciptakan budaya yang mendukung perbedaan pendapat dan inovasi.

« Contrairement aux idées reçues, avoir du talent ne tient pas du miracle : nous sommes tous capables de bien plus que ce que nous pensons ! Pour ce faire, il faut accepter de sortir de sa zone de confort et laisser réellement libre cours à toutes ses aspirations. À travers une série d''études scientifiques et sociologiques, accompagnées de récits inspirants allant des écoles primaires aux entretiens de la NASA, Adam Grant nous montre comment développer nos« qualités de caractère », celles qui transcendent notre personnalité, boostent notre motivation et nous propulsent vers les sommets. Nous pouvons tous nous dépasser, déjouer les pronostics et atteindre des objectifs qui nous paraissaient inaccessibles. Découvrez comment, tel un diamant brut que l''on polit, le talent se crée. »--Quatrième de couverture.

#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 ou na 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

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.

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.

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.

Comment défendre ses idées et ses valeurs sans risquer de tout perdre ? Adam Grant montre comment améliorer le monde en réfléchissant d''une façon nouvelle, à l''encontre des idées reçues, en combattant les conformismes et en rejetant les traditions désuètes. À l''aide d''études surprenantes et d''anecdotes tirées du monde de l''entreprise, de la politique, du sport, du cinéma ou de la télévision, Grant dénonce la croyance populaire selon laquelle les anticonformistes qui réussissent sont des leaders-nés qui n''hésitent pas à prendre tous les risques. Au lieu de cela, son ouvrage explore la façon dont on reconnaît une bonne idée, comment on la défend sans être réduit au silence et comment on identifie les pistes de changement. Les parents y apprennent comment favoriser un esprit original chez leur enfant, et les dirigeants comment combattre la pensée unique pour bâtir une culture d''entreprise ouverte aux idées neuves. Parmi différentes trajectoires édifiantes de novateurs, Osez sortir du rang ! raconte les histoires d''un entrepreneur à succès qui présente les raisons de ne pas investir dans ses projets; d''une femme qui a remis en cause une décision de Steve Jobs, alors qu''elle était trois échelons plus bas dans la hiérarchie d''Apple; d''une agent de renseignement qui a remis en question la politique du secret à la CIA; d''un gourou de la finance milliardaire qui licencie les employés qui oublient de le critiquer et celle du producteur de télévision qui a évité à la série Seinfeld d''être enterrée prématurément. Osez sortir du rang ! propose des pistes d''inspiration inédites sur les façons de rejeter le conformisme et explique ce qui caractérise réellement les esprits originaux. C''est un ouvrage qui procure les connaissances et la force nécessaires pour défendre ses idées et changer le monde.

Adam Grant is een van de boeiendste en prikkelendste grote denkers van zijn generatie en richt zich er in dit boek op hoe je de wereld een beetje beter kunt maken vanuit een pioniersperspectief: door ervoor te kiezen om tegen de stroom in te zwemmen, te strijden tegen conformisme en je af te zetten tegen verouderde tradities. Hoe kun je je sterk maken voor nieuwe ideeën, nieuw beleid en nieuwe gewoonten zonder daarbij je reputatie, je relaties en je carrière op het spel te zetten? Aan de hand van verrassende onderzoeken en verhalen uit de zakenwereld, de politiek en de sport- en entertainmentindustrie ontkracht Grant de algemene aanname dat succesvolle non-conformisten geboren leiders zijn die risico’s gewillig aangaan. In Het kan ook anders legt hij uit dat iedereen kansen voor verandering en goede ideeën kan leren herkennen, onzekerheid en ambivalentie kan overwinnen en suggesties kan opperen zonder dat iemand je de mond snoert. Je krijgt onder meer inzicht in de succesvolle technieken van: een ondernemer die zijn start-ups aanprijst door te benadrukken waarom je er juist níét in moet investeren; een vrouwelijke manager bij Apple die op de managementladder drie sporten onder Steve Jobs zat, maar hem niettemin durfde tegen te spreken; een analiste die wist af te rekenen met de cultuur van geheimhouding binnen de CIA; een steenrijk fi nancieel genie die mensen ontslaat als ze geen kritiek op hem durven te hebben; een filmproducent die door het stellen van één vraag Disneys allereerste animatiefi lm die gebaseerd was op een origineel verhaal uit de prullenbak wist te redden. Grant toont aan hoe je originaliteit kunt oproepen, ontketenen en vasthouden, en biedt praktische inzichten voor hoe je als individu vanuit onverwachte hoek steun kunt verwerven, hoe leiders groepsdenken kunnen omzeilen, en ouders en onderwijzers kinderen zelfstandig kunnen leren nadenken. Dit levert een verzameling baanbrekende inzichten op hoe je door non-conformisme je situatie kunt verbeteren en verder kunt komen. Mensen die openlijk origineel durven te zijn, hebben last van dezelfde angsten en twijfels als ieder ander, maar ze onderscheiden zich doordat ze niet bevriezen of flauwvallen als zaken tegenzitten. Dan gaan ze namelijk alsnog tot actie over. Het kan ook anders zal je de kennis en moed geven om je eigen ideeën krachtig te bepleiten.
