Give and Take

Give and Take just might be the most important book of this young century. As insightful and entertaining as Malcolm Gladwell at his best, this book has profound implications for how we manage our careers, deal with our friends and relatives, raise our children, and design our institutions. This gem is a joy to read, and it shatters the myth that greed is the path to success." Robert Sutton, author of The No *sshole Rule and Good Boss, Bad Boss "Give and Take is a truly exhilarating book-the rare work that will shatter your assumptions about how the world works and keep your brain firing for weeks after you've turned the last page." Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind "Give and Take is brimming with life-changing insights. As brilliant as it is wise, this is not just a book-it's a new and shining worldview. Adam Grant is one of the great social scientists of our time, and his extraordinary new book is sure to be a bestseller." Susan Cain, author of Quiet "Give and Take cuts through the clutter of clichs in the marketplace and provides a refreshing new perspective on the art and science of success. Adam Grant has crafted a unique, 'must have' toolkit for accomplishing goals through collaboration and reciprocity." William P. Lauder, Executive Chairman, The Este Lauder Companies Inc. "Give and Take is a pleasure to read, extraordinarily informative, and will likely become one of the classic books on workplace leadership and management. It has changed the way I see my personal and professional relationships, and has encouraged me to be a more thoughtful friend and colleague." Jeff Ashby, NASA space shuttle commander "With Give and Take, Adam Grant has marshaled compelling evidence for a revolutionary way of thinking about personal success in business and in life. Besides the fundamentally uplifting character of the case he makes, readers will be delighted by the truly engaging way he makes it. This is a must read." Robert Cialdini, author of Influence "
