Unlock Your Hidden Potential: A Science-Based Guide to Achieving Your Full Potential

To realize one’s full potential, read Adam Grant’s Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things. According to Grant, success is not determined by how high you have climbed, but by how far you have come. He uses studies in psychology, economics, and sociology to demonstrate how everyone may advance in their careers and lives.

The book is broken up into three sections:

Part 1: The Power of Hidden Potential

Grant defines “hidden potential” and lays forth the book’s foundational argument for its significance. He says we all have latent talent that can be developed, but we’re too hard on ourselves. Grant also examines the barriers to success, including limiting beliefs, self-doubt, and high standards for oneself.

Part 2: The Science of Achieving Greater Things

Part two of the book is Grant’s blueprint for realizing your maximum potential. Goal-setting, a growth attitude, and surrounding oneself with positive people are all topics he touches on. In addition, Grant offers concrete advice for coping with frequent challenges like delay and failure.
