Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things

University professor writes extended essay on the various facts of unlocking potential. A few interesting stories. Practical application - 1 star out of 5.

Very well written book. Well structured, great stories and examples and most importantly convincingly strong and pragmatic framework/ideas.

First two sections are ideas at individual level whereas the third section is for education system. I thought I would not enjoy this section however I did.

I like Adam Grant, his personality and unique style is definitely coming through in this book.

Like a lot of Adam Grant’s book, it wasn’t really breaking a lot of new ground. There was a chapter that was basically about effective teaming, that was definitely the most beneficial chapter.

Provides a lot of tips, some of them more obvious than others. May revisit the book again in another ‘state of mind'.
