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.

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.

So refreshing
Finally a book that gives data to support my "Kindness is magic" theory for running my business.

A must read for everyone!
This book should be taught in schools. I learned the most from chapter 7 but loved the entire book. Also the narrator was great and easy to listen to.

challenging the status quo
narrator voice inflection was good ... however accents distracting. Overall, really good read and thought-provoking

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.
