God, I love Adam Grant.

This book does exactly what it says on the tin: how to meet and extract your own hidden potential. We often get it wrong in evaluating what we and others are capable of, but through some really interesting examples, Grant will demonstrate how we can better meet goals, find fulfillment, and help others do the same.

I get it. From the outside (meaning the covers, titles) his books look like self-help books for people looking to climb the corporate ladder. DON'T BE FOOLED! Grant is an organizational psychologist but his observations and insights touch on every part of our lives. His books have - no joke - changed my life many times over. He did it again in this book. Later today, I'm going to be taking his advice about turning practice into play and taking focus breaks.

message 2: by Rusty (new)

Rusty Berr I keep feeling I am too old to achieve greater things, should I still read it?
Decisions, decisions.
