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.

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.

Through engaging storytelling and evidence-based insights, the author illustrates how progress is a journey of improvement rather than innate genius. Ultimately, it encourages readers to recognize their potential by valuing the effort and resilience it takes to achieve their goals.

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.

Intelligence is often viewed as the ability to think and learn, but in today's fast-paced world, the skills of rethinking and unlearning may be even more crucial. Many of us prefer the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt, seeking out opinions that validate our beliefs rather than challenging them. This leads to brittle beliefs and a mindset akin to preachers or politicians, rather than scientists in search of truth. High intelligence can ironically make us blind to our own limitations, as we become more entrenched in our views. Organizational psychologist Adam Grant, a leading expert in opening minds, emphasizes the importance of arguing confidently while listening with humility. Through compelling examples, he demonstrates how to embrace the joy of being wrong, navigate difficult conversations, and foster environments that encourage lifelong learning. Stories of an international debate champion, a musician changing minds, and a vaccine advocate illustrate the power of persuasion and understanding. Ultimately, this work encourages us to let go of outdated beliefs and prioritize mental flexibility, reminding us that true wisdom lies in recognizing what we don’t know.
