Today, we're diving into the new book, Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things, by Adam Grant. Grant is a renowned organizational psychologist and a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he became the school's youngest tenured professor.
Following his influential bestsellers like Give and Take, Originals, and Think Again, this new work challenges the conventional wisdom that greatness is an innate gift. Grant argues that potential is not about our starting point but about the distance we travel. He reveals how we can unlock our own hidden potential and that of others by developing "character skills" and creating "scaffolding"—structures that provide motivation and opportunity.
The book ultimately explores a powerful question: How can we all get better at getting better and achieve greater things, regardless of where we begin?
