"Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things" by Adam Grant challenges the notion of talent worship in our society. While we often celebrate those with innate advantages, Grant reminds us of our capacity for growth and skill development. He presents a fresh perspective on raising aspirations and exceeding expectations, emphasizing that progress is more about effective learning than sheer effort. Grant's book draws on compelling evidence and stories from various contexts, illustrating that our potential is not determined solely by our innate genius but by the character we cultivate. He explores how to develop the character skills and motivations necessary to unlock our hidden potential and design systems that offer opportunities to those who have been underrated or overlooked. Ultimately, the book inspires readers to focus on the journey of personal growth rather than fixating on the peak they aim to reach.
