Book Synopsis



El autor del bestseller Piénsalo otra vez nos explica cómo sacar el máximo de nosotros mismos y de los demás para lograr cosas inimaginables.

Este libro comienza con un pequeño milagro: en 1991, un grupo de chicos afroamericanos de un conflictivo instituto de Harlem ganó al todopoderoso colegio privado Dalton en el Campeonato Nacional de Ajedrez para Alumnos de Secundaria. Detrás de ese éxito inesperado se encontraba el joven maestro ajedrecista Maurice Ashley, que demostró dos cosas: que el talento no es innato y que la motivación y el desarrollo del carácter son clave para el éxito, incluso cuando todo parece estar en contra.

El psicólogo organizacional Adam Grant está convencido de que querer es poder, pero también es consciente de que, en ocasiones, uno puede perder de vista sus objetivos y venirse abajo ante las adversidades. Es ahí cuando entra en juego la educación como gran agente revulsivo. Como el propio autor confiesa, «si hubiera juzgado mi potencial por mis primeros fracasos, me habría rendido enseguida. Lo que aprendí por el camino me ayudó a crear mis propios andamiajes para avanzar en el futuro».

A través de anécdotas de gran valor testimonial y de su larga experiencia como investigador y docente, Grant apuesta por la importancia de la educación del carácter, la motivación y la igualdad de oportunidades para formar personas que no sólo logren tener éxito, sino que además se sientan realizadas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The author of the bestseller Think Again explains how to bring out the best in ourselves and others to achieve unimaginable things.

This book begins with a small miracle: in 1991, a group of African American students from a troubled Harlem high school defeated the prestigious private Dalton School in the U.S. National High School Chess Championship. Behind this unexpected success was the young chess master Maurice Ashley, who proved two key points: talent is not innate, and motivation and character development are essential for success--even when the odds seem stacked against you.

Organizational psychologist Adam Grant firmly believes that determination leads to success, but he also acknowledges that people sometimes lose sight of their goals and feel discouraged by adversity. That is when education becomes a powerful force for change. As Grant himself admits, "Had I judged my potential based on my early failures, I would have given up immediately. What I learned along the way helped me build my own scaffolding to move forward in the future."

Through powerful real-life anecdotes and his extensive experience as a researcher and educator, Grant highlights the importance of character education, motivation, and equal opportunities--not only to help people achieve success, but also to ensure they feel fulfilled in the process.
