      • 9 hours of reading

      Menschen zu finden, mit denen die Chemie stimmt, trägt entscheidend dazu bei, dass wir uns glücklich fühlen und Erfolg haben. Aber wie gelingt uns das? Ähnliche Charaktereigenschaften sind dafür ebenso wenig nötig wie spontane Sympathie. Bestsellerautor Adam Grant zeigt, worauf es stattdessen ankommt, wenn wir schneller Bindungen knüpfen wollen, die stark sind und lange halten. In einer Zeit, in der wir einander häufiger online begegnen als im echten Leben und unsere Gesellschaft sich zunehmend polarisiert, liefert dieses Buch den Schlüssel zu Zusammenhalt und stabilen Beziehungen.

      Zistite, ako odomknúť vlastný potenciál V súčasnosti je spoločnosť posadnutá talentovanými ľuďmi. Ospevujeme prirodzené nadanie, a pritom podceňujeme zručnosti, ktoré sa môžeme sami naučiť. Skrytý potenciál spája vedecké poznatky, prekvapivé postrehy a živé rozprávanie, ktoré nás zavedie zo školskej triedy do zasadacej miestnosti, z ihriska na olympijské hry a zo Zeme až do vesmíru. Ukazuje, že pokrok nezávisí ani tak od toho, ako sa snažíte, ako skôr od schopnosti učiť sa nové veci. Grant vysvetľuje, ako posilniť svoje charakterové zručnosti, vytvárať motivačné štruktúry a ako pomáhať ostatným ľuďom rozvíjať ich vlastný potenciál. Táto kniha odhaľuje, ako sa môže ktokoľvek zlepšiť prakticky v čomkoľvek. Skutočným meradlom vášho potenciálu nie je výška vrcholu, ktorý ste dosiahli, ale to, ako ďaleko ste kráčali, aby ste sa tam dostali.

      • 12 hours of reading

      Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller and Times Self-Help Book of the Year, this work explores the vital skill of rethinking—how questioning our opinions can lead to excellence at work and wisdom in life. In a rapidly changing world, the ability to rethink and unlearn is more crucial than traditional intelligence. Recent global shifts have prompted many to reassess their beliefs, yet we often cling to the comfort of certainty instead of embracing the discomfort of doubt. This tendency can blind us to our limitations, as intelligence alone is not a safeguard against ignorance. The author, a top-rated professor and bestselling author, presents compelling ideas and evidence on embracing the joy of being wrong and fostering a culture of rethinking in various domains, including contentious issues like abortion and climate change. Through engaging examples, such as an international debate champion, a musician changing hearts, and a vaccine advocate, the text illustrates the power of mental flexibility, humility, and curiosity. Ultimately, it encourages readers to abandon outdated opinions and recognize that true wisdom lies in understanding what we do not know.

      • 12 hours of reading

      In Originals the author addresses the challenge of improving the world from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all? Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt; how parents and teachers can nurture originality in children; and how leaders can build cultures that welcome dissent. Learn from an entrepreneur who pitches his start-ups by highlighting the reasons not to invest, a woman at Apple who challenged Steve Jobs from three levels below, an analyst who overturned the rule of secrecy at the CIA, a billionaire financial wizard who fires employees for failing to criticize him, and a TV executive who didn’t even work in comedy but saved Seinfeld from the cutting-room floor. The payoff is a set of groundbreaking insights about rejecting conformity and improving the status quo.
