Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things by Adam Grant
"This wonderful book will shatter your assumptions about what it takes to improve and succeed. I wish I could go back in time and give this book to my younger self. It would have helped me find a more enjoyable way to improve."

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again shows us how we can lift ourselves and others to unexpected heights.
We live in a world obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and prodigies in music. But to praise those who started out with natural gifts leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve. And when opportunities don't present themselves, there are ways to create doors.
