Quite interesting, as Adam Grant always is, but a few days later, I'm remembering the case studies but not much in the way of the content...
Adam Grant writes an inspirational book about character and provides some great motivational zingers. Lots of great anecdotes and the first half is excellent. The second half lost a little steam for me- there‘s a lot of athletic stories, and the education aspects were weaker than other chapters. Even still, it‘s an inspiring, quick book to lift spirits.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Overall I found it interesting, but none of it seemed like new information to me - more like stories & studies to back up things I already knew. Grant reads the audiobook, which feels like a long-form podcast, and there are quite a few differences between the audio & the hard copy-I‘d recommend the audio. If leadership studies or growing potential is an interest of yours, I would definitely recommend this.I‘m just not his prime audience.

1. It depends. I don‘t believe that merely thinking about something will make it appear, particularly when talking about tangible things (e.g., money, property). But I do believe in the power of positive thinking & that setting intentions will lead to positive outcomes.
2. The tagged, which comes out today. I enjoyed his book Think Again.
