Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things

This book, written by respected psychologist and thinker Adam Grant, is based on scientific research data. It offers fresh approaches to learning and unlocking your own potential.

In modern society, it’s common to admire prodigies, naturally gifted athletes, and talented musicians. However, when we focus only on people with innate gifts, we overlook the opportunities for developing our own skills and underestimate our abilities. Improvement has no limits, and even if opportunities don’t come by themselves, you can create them.

Adam Grant combines research results, interesting concepts, and engaging stories to show that real potential is measured not by the height of the peaks you reach, but by how challenging—and inspiring—the journey to them is.

Who is this book for?

It’s for those who are confident in their potential, but so far don’t see a clear path to achieving their goals.
