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.

Quand avez-vous changer d'avis la dernière fois ? "Cela ne marchera jamais !", "C'est trop compliqué !", "C'est comme ça qu'on a toujours fait !", ces phrases vous sont-elles familières ? Alors que nous évoluons dans un monde en mouvement permanent, que nous passons notre temps à remplacer nos biens matériels pour de plus performants, pourquoi restons-nous si souvent campés sur nos positions ? C'est que nous trouvons refuge dans le confort de nos convictions, nous nous entourons de personnes qui partagent nos idées et fuyons à tout prix la contradiction.

" J'aimerais pouvoir remonter dans le temps et offrir ce livre à la jeune fille que j'étais. Il m'aurait aidée à trouver un chemin plus joyeux vers la réussite. " Serena Williams.

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.

We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door.

Después de la repentina muerte de su marido, Sheryl Sandberg creyó que ni ella ni sus hijos podrían volver a ser felices. «Estaba en "la nada"», escribe, «en un vacío inabarcable que inunda el corazón y los pulmones, y merma la capacidad para pensar e incluso para respirar.» Su amigo Adam Grant, psicólogo en Wharton, le explicó que hay unos pasos concretos que podemos dar para recuperarnos y reponernos de las experiencias que nos destrozan la vida. No nacemos con una cantidad determinada de resiliencia, sino que ésta es un músculo que todos podemos desarrollar.

The motivations behind today's most successful leaders and entrepreneurs come to a simple yet decisive explanation: there are people who give, people who take, people who match and people who fake. Our world is filled with these givers, takers, matchers and fakers. Amazingly, those who succeed (not only personally but for their clients and companies) don't take or match. They give. (Although they're not necessarily philanthropic.)

After the sudden death of her husband, Sheryl Sandberg felt certain that she and her children would never feel pure joy again. 'I was in "the void,"' she writes, 'a vast emptiness that fills your heart and lungs and restricts your ability to think or even breathe.' Her friend Adam Grant, a psychologist at Wharton, told her there are concrete steps people can take to recover and rebound from life-shattering experiences. We are not born with a fixed amount of resilience. It is a muscle that everyone can build.

Power is changing. Private corner offices and management by decree are out, as is unquestioned trust in the government and media.

So how do you navigate this new landscape and come out on top? Adam Grant, Wharton organizational psychologist, went to the World Economic Forum in Davos, the epicenter of power, and sat down with thought leaders from around the world, to find out.

Hay, sin embargo, un cuarto ingrediente, un ingrediente crítico pero que a menudo pasa desapercibido: el éxito depende en gran parte de cómo interactuamos con los demás.

Anstand, Empathie und soziale Verantwortung zahlen sich aus. Anhand schlagender Beispiele aus der Wirtschaftswelt verdeutlicht der führende amerikanische Organisationspsychologe Adam Grant, dass vor allem Geber den Weg zu beruflichem Erfolg und persönlicher Zufriedenheit finden – und dass sie so unsere Arbeitswelt und Wettbewerbsgesellschaft ein Stück wertschätzender und menschlicher gestalten.
