About This Book
The world is obsessed with talent—but that obsession blinds us to how far any of us can actually go.
Adam Grant, organizational psychologist and bestselling author of Think Again, argues that progress depends less on how hard you work than on how well you learn. Hidden Potential introduces a framework built around character skills and motivational structures rather than innate ability—drawing on evidence from classrooms, boardrooms, Olympic training facilities and beyond. Growth, Grant contends, is not about the genius you possess but the character you develop.
For anyone who has ever felt overlooked, underestimated or simply unsure of their own ceiling, this book reframes what achievement means—shifting the measure of success from the height of the peak you've reached to how far you've climbed to get there.
