About this ebook
Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success by Adam Grant | Conversation Starters
Adam Grant, the bestselling author of Originals, gives us a revolutionary look at the reasons why our interactions with others lead to success. Grants talks about how we need to stop focusing on what drives us to success individually, like passion, talent, luck, and hard work, and start paying attention to how we interact with others, our approach to work and our productivity. The author explains what forces are behind the success of some people, and the failure of others.
The Financial Times described “Give and Take” as an excellent book with profound implications that shatters the idea that people who put themselves first always achieve success. “Give and Take” quickly reached The New York Times bestseller list when it was published in 2014. It is also a Wall Street Journal bestseller and it was translated into 30 languages.
A Brief Look Inside:
EVERY GOOD BOOK CONTAINS A WORLD FAR DEEPER
than the surface of its pages. The characters and their world come alive,
and the characters and its world still live on.
Conversation Starters is peppered with questions designed to
bring us beneath the surface of the page
and invite us into the world that lives on.
These questions can be used to..
