About this listen
A groundbreaking look at why our interactions with others hold the key to success, from the best-selling author of Think Again and Originals.
For generations, we have focused on the individual drivers of success: Passion, hard work, talent, and luck. But in today’s dramatically reconfigured world, success is increasingly dependent on how we interact with others. In Give and Take, Adam Grant, an award-winning researcher and Wharton’s highest-rated professor, examines the surprising forces that shape why some people rise to the top of the success ladder while others sink to the bottom. Praised by social scientists, business theorists, and corporate leaders, Give and Take opens up an approach to work, interactions, and productivity that is nothing short of revolutionary.

With Give and Take, Adam Grant not only introduced a landmark new paradigm for success but also established himself as one of his generation’s most compelling and provocative thought leaders. In Originals he again addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all?

Story
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.

Story
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. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door.

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.

Story
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.

Story
Finite games, like football or chess, have known players, fixed rules, and a clear endpoint. The winners and losers are easily identified. Infinite games, games with no finish line, like business or politics, or life itself, have players who come and go. The rules of an infinite game are changeable, while infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers - only ahead and behind. The question is, how do we play to succeed in the game we’re in? In this revelatory new audiobook, Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset.

Too many workplaces are driven by cynicism, paranoia, and self-interest. But the best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a "Circle of Safety" that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside. Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories that range from the military to big business, from government to investment banking.

Amazing audio book experience
This is my first Audible book that I'm reading. I'm in love. Completely. The Audible iPhone app could be better (I'm experiencing some lags often.) #Audible1

will encourage you to give!
Good read. Whether you are a natural giver or not, it will provide some compelling reasons to consider giving more. I found when I was listening to this book I was encouraged to perform random acts of kindness. Any book that has that effect is worth reading or listening to in my opinion!

Sheds light on how to be a giver without burning out
I was pleasantly surprised to learn that there were multiple ways to be a giver and that some don’t have to bring you down. It also teaches how to not be a doormat.

Great Content but....
I couldn’t give it a higher rating because of the cringeworthy fake Australian accent used in the sections about the character. No need for it especially when it sounded like a stand up comedian trying to sound like Crocodile Dundee. If you’re not trained to do accents, don’t try and if you’re the producer, why let that be part of the performance?
Otherwise, Adam’s content and stories were on point and the narrator’s natural voice was pleasing and without the slip into Aussie-land quite good.

Wishy Washy And Lacks Substance
Givers and takers. An interesting premise for a book. But the execution... leaves something to be desired. The entire book is just a bunch of anecdotes of 'givers' and 'takers'. But the terms giver and taker are thrown around so loosely that I started to wonder if these are actual categories or manifestations of deeper traits like psychopathy and openness. And the book doesn't even say anything that meaningful about them. "People like others that are kind to them". Oh, you don't say. There is a small patch of interestingness on how giving can help you become more productive. But this is more general life advice than anything related to givers and takers.
