Vibe: The Secrets of Strong Connections in a Lonely World

"Brought to you by Penguin. #1 New York Times bestselling author Adam Grant illuminates the surprising science behind strong connections A vibe—a special connection between people that creates a spark—is an engine of happiness and success. Yet building meaningful ties is one of the most pressing problems of our time. As social media forces face-to-face interaction behind digital screens, communication gets outsourced to AI, and the world becomes more polarized than ever, our loneliness crisis shows no signs of slowing. To reveal how we can forge faster, stronger, and longer bonds, Grant offers groundbreaking studies, expert insights, and myth-busting stories. Filled with the eye-opening takeaways that have brought millions of readers to his books, Vibe teaches us that similarity is not necessary for solidarity, chemistry doesn’t always happen quickly, and closeness doesn’t always take time. Along the way, Grant introduces us to a crew of astronauts who learned to trust people they don’t like, a comedy troupe that swears by taking time apart as a key to staying together, a band that grew closer by learning to fight more, and a journalist who designed a gathering that led to seventy-eight marriages. He also opens up about his personal struggles to find his place as a shy introvert and the lessons that propelled his transformation into an enthusiastic convener. Through these examples and more, Grant uncovers the keys to creating deeper relationships and tighter communities. Vibe will change how you approach your interactions. No matter how good you are at connecting, you can always get better—and help others get better too. © Adam Grant 2026 (P) Penguin Audio 2026"

[Romanian] - Potențial ascuns

"Trăim într-o lume obsedată de talent. Glorificăm elevii buni la învățătură, sportivii înzestrați nativ și copiii-minune din muzică. Dar, admirând persoanele care pornesc cu avantaje înnăscute, ignorăm distanțele pe care le putem parcurge noi înșine. Subestimăm gama de abilități pe care le putem învăța și cât de buni putem deveni. Toți putem să ne îmbunătățim abilitatea de a ne îmbunătăți. Iar când ocazia nu ne bate la ușă, există modalități de a construi una. Potențial ascuns oferă un nou cadru conceptual pentru ridicarea nivelului aspirațiilor și depășirea așteptărilor. Adam Grant îmbină dovezi revoluționare, observații surprinzătoare și povestiri pline de viață care demonstrează că progresul nu depinde doar de cât de mult muncești, ci și de cât de bine înveți. Dezvoltarea nu ține de geniul pe care îl posezi – ține de caracterul pe care îl dezvolți. Grant explorează moduri de a ne construi abilitățile de caracter și structurile motivaționale pentru a ne realiza propriul potențial și de a proiecta sisteme care creează ocazii pentru cei subevaluați și ignorați. Aduce lumină asupra modului în care ne putem ridica pe noi înșine și pe ceilalți la înălțimi neașteptate. "

[Spanish] - Opción B: Afrontar la adversidad, desarrollar la resiliencia y alcanzar la felicidad

"Basado en su propia experiencia, Sheryl Sandberg, directora de operaciones de Facebook y autora del best seller Vayamos adelante, firma junto con Adam Grant, profesor de Wharton y autor de Originals, un libro práctico e inspirador sobre la superación. Después de la repentina muerte de su marido, Sheryl Sandberg creyó que ni ella ni sus hijos podrían volver a ser felices. «Estaba en 'la nada'», escribe, «en un vacío inabarcable que inunda el corazón y los pulmones, y merma la capacidad para pensar e incluso para respirar.» Su amigo Adam Grant, psicólogo en Wharton, le explicó que hay unos pasos concretos que podemos dar para recuperarnos y reponernos de las experiencias que nos destrozan la vida. No nacemos con una cantidad determinada de resiliencia, sino que ésta es un músculo que todos podemos desarrollar. Opción B combina la experiencia de Sheryl con las reveladoras investigaciones de Adam sobre cómo hallar fuerzas cuando afrontamos la adversidad. Desde el instante demoledor en el que encuentra a su marido desplomado en el suelo del gimnasio, Sheryl nos abre su corazón -y su diario- para describir la profunda pena y desolación que siguió a la muerte de Dave. Opción B, sin embargo, va más allá de la terrible pérdida de Sheryl y explora cómo un amplio abanico de personas ha superado todo tipo de reveses, desde una enfermedad o la pérdida del empleo a una agresión sexual, desde los desastres naturales a la violencia de la guerra. Todas estas historias muestran la capacidad del espíritu humano para perseverar... Y recobrar la alegría y la felicidad. La resiliencia proviene tanto de nuestro interior como del apoyo que recibimos de los demás. Incluso después de una tragedia devastadora, es posible crecer al encontrar un sentido más trascendente y dar más valor a nuestras vidas. Opción B nos enseña a ayudar a otras personas que se hallan en un momento de crisis, a desarrollar compasión por nosotros mismos, a criar hijos equilibrados, y a engendrar familias, comunidades y empresas resilientes. Y muchas de estas lecciones pueden aplicarse a nuestra lucha diaria para sobreponernos a cualquier contingencia que el futuro nos depare. Dos semanas después de perder a su marido, Sheryl debía prepararse para una actividad conjunta entre padres e hijos. «Quiero a Dave», se lamentó. Un amigo le respondió: «La opción A no es posible», pero le prometió ayudarla a encontrar la mejor Opción B. Todos vivimos algún tipo de Opción B. Y este libro nos ayudará a que sea la mejor opción posible. Reseñas: «Recomiendo este libro inspirador a todas las personas del mundo. Nadie puede evitar la tristeza, la pérdida o los reveses de la vida, así que la mejor opción es encontrar nuestra Opción B.» Malala Yousafzai, Premio Nobel de la Paz «Sheryl escribe sobre su propia experiencia desgarradora con una sinceridad poco habitual. Después, junto con Adam, convierte esta historia personal en una guía práctica y alentadora para cualquiera que intente desarrollar la resiliencia en su vida, comunidad o empresa. Ya es muy difícil llegar a los lectores. Pero lo es todavía más ayudarlos a dar pasos concretos hacia un futuro mejor. Opción B consigue ambas cosas.» Bill y Melinda Gates, copresidentes de la Fundación Bill & Melinda Gates"

[Spanish] - Dar y recibir: 'Por qué ayudar a los demás conduce al éxito (A Revolutionary Approach to Success)'

"Dicen que la gente de éxito tiene tres cosas en común: motivación, capacidad y oportunidad. Si queremos alcanzar el éxito, necesitaremos además trabajo, talento y suerte. Hay, sin embargo, un cuarto ingrediente, un ingrediente crítico pero que a menudo pasa desapercibido: el éxito depende en gran parte de cómo interactuamos con los demás. Cada vez que interactuamos con alguien, debemos elegir entre intentar conseguir el máximo valor posible para nosotros o contribuir a que el otro consiga valor sin preocuparnos por lo que recibimos. Es decir, elegir entre ser «receptores » o ser «donantes». Dar y recibir te descubrirá la clave del éxito de quienes se vuelcan en los demás y cambiará para siempre tus percepciones sobre el triunfo y el fracaso. Pero te enfrentará a una paradoja: poner en práctica las ideas de este libro no te funcionará si sólo te mueve la ambición por conseguir el éxito."

Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things

"Brought to you by Penguin. 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. Hidden Potential offers a new framework for raising aspirations and exceeding expectations. Adam Grant weaves together groundbreaking evidence, surprising insights, and vivid storytelling that takes us from the classroom to the boardroom, the playground to the Olympics, and underground to outer space. He shows that progress depends less on how hard you work than how well you learn. Growth is not about the genius you possess-it's about the character you develop. Grant explores how to build the character skills and motivational structures to realize our own potential, and how to design systems that create opportunities for those who have been underrated and overlooked. Many writers have chronicled the habits of superstars who accomplish great things. This book reveals how anyone can rise to achieve greater things. The true measure of your potential is not the height of the peak you've reached, but how far you've climbed to get there. ©2023 Adam Grant (P)2023 Penguin Audio"

[Persian] - Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know

"The best-selling author of Give and Take and Originals examines the critical art of rethinking: learning to question your opinions and open other people's minds, which can position you for excellence at work and wisdom in life. As an organizational psychologist, Adam Grant has spent his career exploring how we can open other people's minds - and our own. As Wharton's top-rated professor and the number one New York Times best-selling author of Originals and Give and Take, one of his guiding principles in life is arguing like he's right but listening like he's wrong. With bold ideas and rigorous evidence, he investigates how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, harness the surprising advantages of impostor syndrome, bring nuance into charged conversations about abortion and climate change, and build schools, workplaces and communities of lifelong learners. Think Again reveals that we don't have to believe everything we think or internalize everything we feel. It's an invitation to let go of views that are no longer serving us well and prize mental flexibility, humility and curiosity over foolish consistency. If knowledge is power, knowing what we don't know is wisdom."

Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know

"Brought to you by Penguin. The bestselling author of Give and Take and Originals examines the critical art of rethinking: learning to question your opinions and open other people's minds, which can position you for excellence at work and wisdom in life 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 recent months, the pandemic has forced us all to reevaluate our assumptions about health and safety and multiple acts of police brutality have challenged most of us to reconsider our responsibility for fighting racism. Yet in our daily lives, too many of us still 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. We surround ourselves with people who agree with our conclusions, when we should be gravitating toward those who challenge our thought process. The result is that our beliefs get brittle long before our bones. Intelligence is no cure, and it can even be a curse: there's evidence that being good at thinking can make us worse at rethinking. The brighter we are, the blinder we can become to our own limitations. As an organizational psychologist, Adam Grant has spent his career exploring how we can open other people's minds--and our own. As Wharton's top-rated professor and the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take, one of his guiding principles in life is arguing like he's right but listening like he's wrong. With bold ideas and rigorous evidence, he investigates how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, harness the surprising advantages of impostor syndrome, bring nuance into charged conversations about abortion and climate change, and build schools, workplaces, and communities of lifelong learners. You'll learn how an international debate champion wins arguments, a Black musician persuades white supremacists to abandon hate, a vaccine whisperer convinces anti-vaxxers to immunize their children, and how Adam has coaxed Yankees fans to root for the Red Sox. Think Again reveals that we don't have to believe everything we think or internalize everything we feel. It's an invitation to let go of views that are no longer serving us well and prize mental flexibility, humility, and curiosity over foolish consistency. If knowledge is power, knowing what we don't know is wisdom. © Adam Grant 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021"

The Gift Inside the Box

"Adam Grant, the bestselling author of Give and Take, teams with his wife, Allison, to share the lighthearted tale of a gift in search of a giver--a classic in the making and the perfect conversation starter about thoughtfulness. This delightful book--one of Amazon's 2019 Holiday Gift Picks and Most Anticipated Books--is designed to start conversations with kids about generosity. In the tradition of Goodnight Gorilla, the words are intentionally spare. The book is meant to be read interactively, with adults posing questions so kids can guess what's happening (and why). Praised by both parents and teachers for sparking imagination and eliciting discussion, the story can be interpreted differently in every family, by every child, and reinterpreted many times over. Give the gift of this clever, earnest book about generosity--a new and nourishing fable for every child's library (and one that includes a delightfully innovative cover approach that requires the reader to unfasten the Velcroed cover for a fun unboxing effect!). It's a gift that keeps on giving. 'Truly phenomenal . . . Kristen [Bell]'s favorite book we've read to the kids in a year.' --Dax Shepard of the podcast 'Armchair Expert'"
