The New York Times bestseller that gives readers a paradigm-shattering new way to think about motivation from the author of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing

Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.

Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose-and offer smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.

Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us

Adam Grant

#1 New York Times Bestseller

“THIS. This is the right book for right now. Yes, learning requires focus. But, unlearning and relearning requires much more—it requires choosing courage over comfort. In Think Again, Adam Grant weaves together research and storytelling to help us build the intellectual and emotional muscle we need to stay curious enough about the world to actually change it. I’ve never felt so hopeful about what I don’t know.”
—Brené Brown, Ph.D., #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dare to Lead

The bestselling author of Give and Take and Originals examines the critical art of rethinking: learning to question your opinions and open other people's minds, which 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, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn. We surround ourselves with people who agree with our conclusions, when we should be gravitating toward those who challenge our thought process. The result is that our beliefs get brittle long before our bones. We think too much like preachers defending our sacred beliefs, prosecutors proving the other side wrong, and politicians campaigning for approval--and too little like scientists searching for truth. Intelligence is no cure, and it can even be a curse: being good at thinking can make us worse at rethinking. The brighter we are, the blinder to our own limitations we can become.

Organizational psychologist Adam Grant is an expert on opening other people's minds--and our own. As Wharton's top-rated professor and the bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take, he makes it one of his guiding principles to argue like he's right but listen like he's wrong. With bold ideas and rigorous evidence, he investigates how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, bring nuance to charged conversations, 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, a vaccine whisperer convinces concerned parents to immunize their children, and Adam has coaxed Yankees fans to root for the Red Sox. Think Again reveals that we don't have to believe everything we think or internalize everything we feel. It's an invitation to let go of views that are no longer serving us well and prize mental flexibility over foolish consistency. If knowledge is power, knowing what we don't know is wisdom.

Think Again

Internationell bästsäljare från en av USA:s mest omtalade forskare. Med fantastiska exempel och unik psykologisk forskning berättar Whartonprofessorn Adam Grant en annorlunda framgångssaga. Att hårt arbete, talang och ett visst mått tur spelar stor roll för hur våra liv utvecklas är knappast någon nyhet. Men här introducerar professor Adam Grant en fjärde och minst lika viktig framgångsfaktor: hur vi väljer att agera i samspelet med andra människor. Ge och ta presenterar en unik syn på jobb, kreativitet, nätverkande och produktivitet. Och krossar föreställningen om att ett par vassa armbågar är ett nödvändigt redskap för att nå toppen. Vi luras ofta att tro att generösa människor människor som ger utan att förvänta sig något tillbaka skulle vara naiva och riskerar att utnyttjas. Tvärtom är det så att ju generösare du är, desto större chans har du att lyckas oavsett område. För att generositet ska kunna förvandlas till framgång så måste vi dock vara medvetna om hur och när vi ger av vår tid och energi. Den här boken ger dig en rad verktyg för hur du ska tänka kring balansen mellan egenintresse och givande.

"Ge och ta är fullmatad med livsförändrande insikter. Lika lysande som smart; detta är mer än bara en bok det är en skinande ny världsbild. Adam Grant är en av de stora samhällsvetarna i vår tid." –Susan Cain, författare till Tyst
"Ge och ta ligger helt rätt i tiden och är väldigt vackert avvägd." –Financial Times
