About Adam Grant

Adam Grant is an organizational psychologist and professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he has been the top-rated professor for seven consecutive years. He is a bestselling author and host of the podcast 'WorkLife with Adam Grant.' His research focuses on motivation, generosity, creativity, and rethinking assumptions.

Rethinking is a superpower — the most successful people are those who embrace intellectual humility, challenge their own assumptions, and cultivate a mindset of continuous learning. Generosity and helping others is also a key driver of long-term success.

"The mark of higher education isn't the knowledge you accumulate in your head. It's the skills you gain about how to learn."

"Rethinking is a skill, and it starts with intellectual humility — recognizing that your knowledge and opinions are not perfect."

"Givers succeed in a way that creates a ripple effect on others."
