About Adam Grant

Organisational psychologist and professor of management at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.

Give and Take presents evidence that people who default to helping others cluster at both the bottom and the top of performance distributions, and identifies what separates the two groups - directly useful for anyone designing incentives or picking partners. Think Again and Originals cover how people revise beliefs against new evidence and how unfamiliar ideas get championed inside established organisations.

The best books on Modern parenting
“Adam Grant's chapter on parenting originals — specifically on what families of moral exemplars and creative achievers have in common — is one of the most cited parenting arguments in the book. Less about creativity and more about how to raise kids who think for themselves without raising rebels.”
