Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success

Book provides a fresh perspective on how to manage relationships in this connected world. And gives some startling examples.However the content is bit more stretched than needed.

Thanks

Great

Llego en muy buenas condiciones.

Perfecto!

This is why I don't read mainstream pop books. The whole book is just names, organisations and people that we don't really care about. This book can be written in 1 chapter but the author extends to 300 pages piling all the random research work to prove his claim.If you buy this book you are reading a research paper

Adam Grant is a masterful writer that is able to engage, educate and inspire. His genuine enthusiasm shines through and writing style is very similar to his podcast making his books easy to read. The analysis of Givers, Takers and Matchers and how they fare as individuals across various industries and situations is insightful. Grant's approach of integrating his own experience, research, case studies, anecdotes, urban myths and studies from history provides a very rounded view and gently reinforces the learnings in the book. It will make you wonder if you really are a giver, and if you're not, you might find yourself being a little more inclined to give in the future. As a business and leadership coach I found the book an excellent reference and have applied many learnings into my programs. In a world where the self absorbed "winner takes all" attitude is far too prevalent, it is comforting to know that givers can be winners.

Book itself: Used and a bit old, but in good condition for reading.Contents: This book was really engaging and useful. Adam Grant is also a great speaker, so check out his TED Talks. The inspiration and tips from the case studies and ideas in this book have helped me be more effective when working on team projects at work and to also understand that I don't need to be a forceful person to succeed (because I'm not). Everyone has strengths they can work on to help them do better in working with people.
