About this listen

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.

The stories that put context to the ideas presented were compelling and I enjoyed listening to the narrator. I especially appreciated hearing the words come directly from mouths of those whom Adam referred to. It lent credence as well as added an extra dimension.

A riveting listen!

Firstly, the book itself is inspiring and backed up by solid data, science and Adam’s career. He really does bring to life everyday situations and feelings with stories. The production itself is great - the music, cameo voices and sections are a breath of fresh air in the audio book sphere,

For those who need some inspiration or a pick me up, this book is for you.

The storytelling of science at it’s best

This is my third Adam Grant book and all I can say is that I adore his train of thought. His personality (if you’ve ever heard him on a podcast) is quite particular since he is a person who is ALWAYS questioning the status quo. Traditional way of thinking is something he ultimately rejects and that’s something I really appreciate in every single one of his books (specially “Think Again”, my ultimate favourite). I wish people on the corporate world could hear him because many of the things that he sets as examples of “what not to do” I see them everyday in my workplace *sheds a tear lol*. Anyway, if you are a leader, an entrepreneur, CEO, Manager, and part of the workforce, I really do suggest reading this book. I loved it.

Third Adam Grant book read!
