Hidden Potential

The Science of Achieving Greater Things
Book • 2023
In 'Hidden Potential,' Adam Grant dismantles the myth that success is primarily due to innate talent.

He argues that potential is not fixed but can be cultivated over time through effort, persistence, and continuous learning.

The book emphasizes the development of 'character skills' such as proactivity, determination, and the ability to embrace discomfort and learn from failure.

Grant uses compelling stories of late bloomers and underdogs who achieved greatness through sheer determination, highlighting the importance of support systems, motivation, and the willingness to push beyond comfort zones.

The book offers a new framework for raising aspirations and exceeding expectations, applicable in various domains from education to the workplace and beyond.
