Originals

Organizational psychologist Adam Grant examines how original thinkers generate new ideas and move them into the world without being flattened by risk or resistance. Drawing on research and case studies across business, politics, and culture, he challenges assumptions about who succeeds at championing the unconventional, arguing that the boldest innovators often procrastinate, hedge their bets, and doubt themselves. Grant connects breadth of experience to creative range, showing how the most original people pull ideas across fields rather than drilling into one. The book reframes nonconformity as a skill rather than a personality trait.
