Where To Start With Adam Grant Books

by Sonya Matejko

Calling all high-achievers and pathfinders, Adam Grant is the thought leader to help you reach your wildest aspirations and exceed even your own expectations. Today, Grant is an organizational psychologist at Wharton, where he has been the top-rated professor for seven years. But his entire career has been laced with success. He attended Harvard University,  got his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan,  is recognized as one of the world’s most influential management thinkers, and is a Fortune‘s 40 Under 40.

It’s no wonder then that his books have sold millions of copies worldwide and his TED talks have been seen over 30 million times. Because — from building resilience to uncovering your potential — Grant’s books are known for helping people challenge their thinking and open their minds to new possibilities. Whether you’re keen on embracing your originality or teaching your kids about embracing failure, there’s something for everyone eager to improve the life they live and the world they live in.

    Think Again

    by Adam Grant

    Position yourself for excellence at work and in life by learning to question your opinions and open other people’s minds in Adam Grant’s #1 New York Times bestseller, Think Again. This book invites you to let go of views that no longer serve you and prioritize mental flexibility over consistency. Grant demonstrates how being good at thinking can make us worse at rethinking and gives readers another avenue to embrace the joy of being wrong and how to become lifelong learners. After reading and raving about it, fellow researcher and bestselling author Brené Brown wrote that she has “never felt so hopeful about what I don’t know.”

    by Adam Grant

    Discover how you can champion new ideas, policies, and practices — without risking it all — in Adam Grant’s Originals.

The #1 New York Times bestseller uses studies and stories from mega-successful leaders to explore originality and shows how you can recognize uniquely good ideas, fight groupthink, and avoid self-doubt along the way. This is the book for you if you thrive when stepping out of bounds and enjoy challenging the status quo.
