Fun Read, Will Look for Application Opportunities
Great book recommended by my performance coach. Adam is an outstanding engaging author. The chapters and stories are coherent, right sized, impactful, and fun to read. Very helpful for someone in leadership or coaching.

Good book, but short of being seminal piece of work!
Adam Grant is a dominant voice in the world of psychology so expectations are always very high. This book almost does justice to those expectations but IMHO, this is not a seminal piece of work (yet). It is somewhat of a mix between Angela Duckworth’s Grit and Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers. Unlike Grit it doesn’t have many prescriptive solutions and unlike Outliers, it has fewer stories that are interesting. Some of this 2*2 grids are not very intuitive either. However, this books should be read for two things:- Some norms that are challenged e.g., he challenges the full efficacy of 10,000 rule to master something, rather advocating for “harmonious passion” as a complementary technique.- His catchy writing (almost too catchy). The content is replete with his trademark three-sentence articulation. Sample this: “A critic sees your weaknesses and attacks your worst self. A cheerleader sets your strengths and celebrates your best self. A coach sees your potential and helps you become a better version of yourself.”Net: It is a good book and as long as you temper your expectations a little bit, you should be good.And I do think that a seminal piece of work from Grant is around the corner.Enjoy.

The underpinnings of success
Grant argues in this book that success is dependent on learned skills (being proactive, prosocial, disciplined, and determined) rather than on innate ability. The book gives hints and examples for how to build those skills. Well written, but a little more like a collection of ideas (some great) than an orderly progression. Well worth reading!

This is a great book; as my title suggests, I first listened to the Audible version and was so enamoured that I had to buy the printed copy. If you are disappointed with the lacklustre performance of your committee meetings, this book is brilliant.
