Discover the critical art of rethinking: how questioning your opinions can position you for excellence at work and wisdom in life
Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, the most crucial skill may be the ability to rethink and unlearn. Recent global and political changes have forced many of us to re-evaluate our opinions and decisions. Yet we often still favour the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt, and prefer opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. Intelligence is no cure, and can even be a curse. The brighter we are, the blinder we can become to our own limitations.
Adam Grant - Wharton's top-rated professor and #1 bestselling author - offers bold ideas and rigorous evidence to show how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, encourage others to rethink topics as wide-ranging as abortion and climate change, and build schools, workplaces, and communities of lifelong learners. You'll learn how an international debate champion wins arguments, a Black musician persuades white supremacists to abandon hate, and how a vaccine whisperer convinces anti-vaxxers to immunize their children. Think Again is an invitation to let go of stale opinions and prize mental flexibility, humility, and curiosity over foolish consistency. If knowledge is power, knowing what you don't know is wisdom.

Author examines how people can drive creative, moral, and organisational progress—and how leaders can encourage originality in their organisations.
How can we originate new ideas, policies and practices without risking it all? Adam Grant shows how to improve the world by championing novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battling conformity, and bucking outdated traditions.
Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt. Parents will learn how to nurture originality in children, and leaders will discover how to fight groupthink to build cultures that welcome dissent.
Told through dazzling case studies of people going against the grain, you’ll encounter an entrepreneur who pitches the reasons not to invest, a woman at Apple who challenged Steve Jobs from three levels below, an analyst who challenged secrecy at the CIA, a billionaire financial wizard who fires employees who don’t criticize him, and the TV executive who saved Seinfeld from the cutting room floor. Originals will give you groundbreaking insights about rejecting conformity and how to change the world.

In 2015 Sheryl Sandberg’s husband, Dave Goldberg, died suddenly at the age of forty-eight. Sandberg and her two young children were devastated, and she was certain that their lives would never have real joy or meaning again.
Just weeks later, Sandberg was talking with a friend about the first father-child activity without a father. They came up with a plan for someone to fill in. “But I want Dave,” she cried. Her friend put his arm around her and said, “Option A is not available. So let’s just kick the shit out of Option B.”
Everyone experiences some form of Option B. We all deal with loss: jobs lost, loves lost, lives lost. The question is not whether these things will happen but how we face them when they do.
Thoughtful, honest, revealing and warm, OPTION B weaves Sandberg’s experiences coping with adversity with new findings from Adam Grant and other social scientists. The book features stories of people who recovered from personal and professional hardship, including illness, injury, divorce, job loss, sexual assault and imprisonment. These people did more than recover—many of them became stronger.
OPTION B offers compelling insights for dealing with hardships in our own lives and helping others in crisis. It turns out that post-traumatic growth is common—even after the most devastating experiences many people don’t just bounce back but actually bounce forward. And pre-traumatic growth is also possible: people can build resilience even if they have not experienced tragedy. Sandberg and Grant explore how we can raise strong children, create resilient communities and workplaces, and find meaning, love and joy in our lives.
“Dave’s death changed me in very profound ways,” Sandberg writes. “I learned about the depths of sadness and the brutality of loss. But I also learned that when life sucks you under, you can kick against the bottom, break the surface and breathe again.”

Wer noch mal nachdenkt, geht schlauer durchs Leben
Intelligenz wird üblicherweise verstanden als die Fähigkeit, zu denken und zu lernen. Doch in einer Welt, die sich rasant verändert, brauchen wir etwas ganz anderes genauso dringend: die Fähigkeit, Gedachtes zu überdenken und sich von Erlerntem wieder zu lösen.
Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele aus dem täglichen Leben zeigt der internationale Bestsellerautor Adam Grant: Nur wer die Komfortzone fester Überzeugungen verlässt, wer Zweifel und unterschiedliche Ansichten zulässt, ohne sich in seinem Ego bedroht zu fühlen, eröffnet sich die großartige Chance, wirklich neue Erkenntnisse zu gewinnen.
Wissen ist Macht. Erkennen, was wir nicht wissen können, ist Weisheit
»Adam Grant ist der Meinung, dass geistige Offenheit eine Fähigkeit ist, die man lernen kann. Und von keinem kann man diese immens nützliche Fähigkeit besser lernen als von ihm. Die bemerkenswerten Einsichten seines brillanten Buches werden dazu führen, dass Sie Ihre Ansichten und Ihre wichtigsten Entscheidungen überdenken. Garantiert.«
Daniel Kahneman, Nobelpreisträger und Bestsellerautor (Schnelles Denken, langsames Denken)
This delightful book--one of Amazon's 2019 Holiday Gift Picks and Most Anticipated Books--is designed to start conversations with kids about generosity. In the tradition of Goodnight Gorilla, the words are intentionally spare. The book is meant to be read interactively, with adults posing questions so kids can guess what's happening (and why). Praised by both parents and teachers for sparking imagination and eliciting discussion, the story can be interpreted differently in every family, by every child, and reinterpreted many times over.
Give the gift of this clever, earnest book about generosity--a new and nourishing fable for every child's library (and one that includes a delightfully innovative cover approach that requires the reader to unfasten the Velcroed cover for a fun unboxing effect!). It's a gift that keeps on giving.
"Truly phenomenal . . . Kristen [Bell]'s favorite book we've read to the kids in a year." --Dax Shepard of the podcast "Armchair Expert"
Das neue Buch von Spiegel-Bestseller-Autorin Sheryl Sandberg: Nach Lean In schreibt sie zusammen mit dem Psychologie-Professor Adam Grant darüber, wie wir Schicksalsschläge überwinden können.
»Option A gibt es nicht mehr. Also lasst uns das Beste aus Option B machen. Ich werde immer um Option A trauern. So wie Bono gesungen hat: Die Trauer endet niemals ... aber auch nicht die Liebe.«
Die Welt nahm Anteil, als Sheryl Sandbergs Ehemann Dave Goldberg im Frühjahr 2015 plötzlich verstarb. Sie, die erfolgreiche COO von Facebook, und ihre Kinder fielen in ein tiefes Loch, Freude zu empfinden, schien nie mehr möglich zu sein. »Du kannst dich in den Abgrund fallen lassen, der Leere, die dein Herz füllt und deine Lungen, die dein Denken verengt und dir den Atem abschnürt. Oder du kannst versuchen, einen Sinn darin zu finden.« Dabei hat Sheryl Sandberg ihr guter Freund Adam Grant geholfen, der ihr konkrete Anleitung gab, wie Menschen nach niederschmetternden Schicksalsschlägen schrittweise wieder zurück ins Leben finden können.
Jeder muss mit Verlusten leben: Wir verlieren Jobs, Ehen zerbrechen, Angehörige sterben. Doch wir können lernen mit persönlichen Katastrophen umzugehen. Gemeinsam mit Adam Grant erzählt Sheryl Sandberg offen von der Trauer um ihren Mann und dem Willen weiterzuleben. Ergänzend zu ihrer eigenen Erfahrung schildert sie neue wissenschaftliche Erkenntnissen aus der Resilienzforschung und berichtet von Menschen, die Arbeitslosigkeit und Armut, Scheidung, Krankheit und Verletzungen überstanden haben. Wir alle können resilienter werden. Und wir können anderen im Umgang mit Tragödien helfen, indem wir über Unsagbares sprechen, unsere Partnerschaften für Krisen stärken, sichere und flexible Arbeitsplätze schaffen und unsere Kinder zu eigenständigen Menschen erziehen.

"Um dos meus pensadores favoritos, Grant traz uma análise inovadora e perspicaz sobre o mundo." – Malcolm Gladwell
"Pesquisas recentes, insights que contrariam o senso comum, escrita cativante, ações claras para serem colocadas em prática... Adam Grant merece sua reputação de mente original." – The Financial Times
"Deveria compor a lista de leituras obrigatórias de todas as empresas." – Wired.com
Qual é o segredo das pessoas originais? Será que a criatividade é uma qualidade inata ou uma habilidade que pode ser estimulada ou mesmo aprendida? Em seu novo livro, Adam Grant desmistifica muitas das crenças que existem em torno das mentes criativas.
Ele recorre a uma série de estudos e histórias reais envolvendo o mundo dos negócios, a política, os esportes e o universo do entretenimento para mostrar como qualquer pessoa pode aprimorar sua criatividade, tornar-se capaz de identificar e defender ideias verdadeiramente originais, combater o conformismo e romper com tradições obsoletas.
Você vai conhecer as técnicas bem-sucedidas aplicadas por profissionais que ousaram remar contra a maré e levar seus projetos adiante, como uma funcionária da Apple que desafiou Steve Jobs estando três níveis hierárquicos abaixo dele, uma analista que derrubou a política de sigilo da CIA, um bilionário mago das finanças que demite os funcionários incapazes de criticá-lo e um executivo de TV que impediu que a série Seinfeld fosse cancelada logo no início apesar das pesquisas de opinião desfavoráveis.
Adam Grant demonstra como a originalidade pode ser impulsionada, indicando a melhor forma de se expressar sem ser silenciado, como conquistar aliados em ambientes improváveis, escolher o momento certo de agir e lidar com o medo e a insegurança.
Além disso, comenta como pais e professores podem estimular a criatividade nas crianças e o que os líderes podem fazer para estabelecer uma cultura que promova a divergência de opiniões.
In vielen stark strukturierten Unternehmen wird Kreativität nicht sehr geschätzt. Dabei sind es gerade die originellen Nonkonformisten, die mit innovativen Veränderungen der Wirtschaft neue Impulse geben. Der führende amerikanische Organisationspsychologe Adam Grant zeigt in seinem Coaching-Ratgeber, wie man sein kreatives Potenzial besser ins Spiel bringt, Verbündete gewinnt und den richtigen Zeitpunkt zum Handeln wählt.
»Dies ist eines der wichtigsten und faszinierendsten Bücher, die ich je gelesen habe – ein Buch voller überraschender und kraftvoller Ideen.« Sheryl Sandberg, Geschäftsführerin von Facebook
»Adam Grant ist der herausragende Analyst unserer Arbeitswelt.« New York Times
Anhand von prägnanten Beispielen aus Wirtschaft, Politik, Sport und Entertainment zeigt Adam Grant, dass es sich lohnt, alte Muster über Bord zu werfen, der eigenen Originalität freien Lauf zu lassen und für erfolgversprechende Ideen zu kämpfen. Und er liefert praktische Anleitungen, wie man sein kreatives Potenzial am besten einbringt, wie man etabliertes Gruppendenken überwindet, sich Gehör verschafft und eine Neuausrichtung in Gang setzt – zum Vorteil aller. Eine inspirierende Perspektive für alle, die ihre Visionen umsetzen und Großes leisten wollen.
"Dar e receber está repleto de ideias revolucionárias. Brilhante e sábio, não é apenas um livro: é uma visão de mundo nova em folha. Adam Grant é um dos maiores cientistas sociais de nossa época." – Susan Cain, autora de O poder dos quietos
Em Dar e receber, Adam Grant, pesquisador e professor da Wharton School, reúne suas conclusões sobre os motivos pelos quais algumas pessoas chegam ao topo da escala de sucesso, enquanto outras permanecem na mediocridade.
Com base em seus estudos pioneiros, Grant revela que, ao contrário do que muitos pensam, as pessoas mais bem-sucedidas nas mais variadas carreiras não são as mais egoístas e implacáveis nem as que agem com base no "toma lá dá cá". Os que chegam mais longe são os doadores.
Por outro lado, ao examinar a base da escala de sucesso, o autor constatou que os doadores também estão entre os menos bem-sucedidos. Um dos objetivos deste livro é diferenciar os dois tipos de doador e mostrar o que podemos fazer para pôr em prática as estratégias dos vencedores.
Combinando conclusões de pesquisas recentes com histórias de personalidades cativantes, este livro conta como o dono da maior rede de contatos do mundo, segundo a Fortune, desenvolveu suas conexões; por que o gênio criativo por trás de um dos programas de TV mais populares trabalhou durante anos no anonimato; como identificar um tomador apenas analisando seu perfil no Facebook; e de que forma poderíamos ter previsto a falência da Enron quatro anos antes do colapso da empresa – isso sem sequer estudar seus números.
Aclamado pela crítica e elogiado por cientistas sociais, teóricos de negócios e líderes empresariais, Adam Grant mostra o que os doadores bem-sucedidos fazem de diferente em cinco áreas-chave – networking, colaboração, influência, negociação e liderança.
