ever read, full of surprising and powerful ideas. It will not only

Reading ORIGINALS made me feel like I was seated across from Adam
Grant at a dinner party, as one of my favorite thinkers thrilled me
with his insights and his wonderfully new take on the world.

After launching hundreds of businesses—from airlines to trains,
music to mobile, and now a spaceline—my biggest challenges and
successes have come from convincing other people to see the world
differently. ORIGINALS reveals how that can be done and will help
you inspire creativity and change.

This extraordinary, wildly entertaining book sheds new light on the
Age of Disruption. What does it take to make a meaningful
difference? And how can you apply this insight to your own life? By
debunking myths of success stories, challenging long-held beliefs
of process, and finding commonality among those who are agents of
profound change, Adam Grant gives us a powerful new perspective on
not just our place in the world, but our potential to shake it up
entirely.
