We live in a world that’s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become.

We live in a world that’s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door.
Hidden Potential offers a new framework for raising aspirations and exceeding expectations. Adam Grant weaves together groundbreaking evidence, surprising insights, and vivid storytelling that takes us from the classroom to the boardroom, the playground to the Olympics, and underground to outer space. He shows that progress depends less on how hard you work than how well you learn. Growth is not about the genius you possess—it’s about the character you develop. Grant explores how to build the character skills and motivational structures to realize our own potential, and how to design systems that create opportunities for those who have been underrated and overlooked.
Many writers have chronicled the habits of superstars who accomplish great things. This book reveals how anyone can rise to achieve greater things. The true measure of your potential is not the height of the peak you’ve reached, but how far you’ve climbed to get there.

1. 成長源於學習,而非天賦 Adam Grant 認為,我們長期高估天賦的重要性,卻忽略後天努力與學習的影響。他主張真正的進步在於你學得多快、多好,而非你原本有多厲害 。 2. 角色性格勝過個性傾向 書中區分「個性」(personality)與「品格」(character):前者是天性傾向,後...

2026-2 前三分之一9分,中间7分,后面6分。越往后读,越觉得作者在凑字数,而且凑得越来越难受。一章章的全都是别人的故事,没有新意,没有论述,纯是牵强的故事,还不点题。

一万小时定律流传广泛并非它多正确,而是它不错。看得出来Adam Grant是希望往正确的方向推进一些,给刻意练习换一个更具备情绪性的方向。但芬兰的教育出众,不仅仅是方法论的问题;亦如中国的应试教育(刻意练习,强行浇灌),是基于目标的区别。对组织结构,这本书给出的思路略飘,适合土壤培育好的地方。但于个人,scaffolding十分启发人,第一个polyglot的例子很让人感到亲切。Grant最厉害的... 一万小时定律流传广泛并非它多正确,而是它不错。看得出来Adam Grant是希望往正确的方向推进一些,给刻意练习换一个更具备情绪性的方向。但芬兰的教育出众,不仅仅是方法论的问题;亦如中国的应试教育(刻意练习,强行浇灌),是基于目标的区别。对组织结构,这本书给出的思路略飘,适合土壤培育好的地方。但于个人,scaffolding十分启发人,第一个polyglot的例子很让人感到亲切。Grant最厉害的地方是游刃有余的用学术去解决最细小的生活问题,拽论文研究念个phd都能,可要老少皆宜的适应读者,厉害的。这本书从Oprah到各种热门podcasts,让人羡慕的出版氛围。以后对身边的年轻人要更包容。 (展开)
