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becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions.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?

Thank you great procrastinators
Reviewed: 09-09-16
I sure am grateful that creative procrastinators like Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Leonardo da Vinci and so many others used their delays to turn and churn their priceless works until they reached the point of perfection just in time. Adam Grant sheds new light on how "Originals" create masterpieces. "Originals", this book, is a masterpiece.

Entertaining Angels unaware
Reviewed: 09-07-16
Andy Andrews' primary character "Jones" reminds us that at times, when we are in great need, we entertain angels unaware. This book is perfect for anyone going into a crisis, in a crisis, or coming out of a crisis.

We are stuck, stymied, frustrated. But it needn't be this way. There is a formula for success that's been followed by the icons of history - from John D. Rockefeller to Amelia Earhart to Ulysses S. Grant to Steve Jobs - a formula that let them turn obstacles into opportunities. Faced with impossible situations, they found the astounding triumphs we all seek.
