Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving<br />
Greater Things<br />
ADAM GRANT<br />
The #1 New York Times bestselling author<br />
of Think Again illuminates how we can<br />
elevate ourselves and others to<br />
unexpected heights.<br />
“This brilliant book will shatter your<br />
assumptions about what it takes to<br />
improve and succeed. I wish I could go<br />
back in time and gift it to my younger<br />
self. It would've helped me find a more<br />
joyful path to progress.” – Serena<br />
Williams, 23-time Grand Slam singles<br />
tennis champion<br />
We live in a world that’s obsessed with<br />
talent. We celebrate gifted students in<br />
school, natural athletes in sports, and<br />
child prodigies in music. But admiring<br />
people who start out with innate<br />
advantages leads us to overlook the<br />
distances we ourselves can travel. We can<br />
all improve at improving. And when<br />
opportunity doesn’t knock, there are<br />
ways to build a door.<br />
Hidden Potential offers a new framework<br />
for raising aspirations and exceeding<br />
expectations. Adam Grant weaves<br />
together groundbreaking evidence,<br />
surprising insights, and vivid storytelling<br />
that takes us from the classroom to the<br />
boardroom, the playground to the<br />
Olympics, and underground to outer<br />
space. He shows that progress depends<br />
less on how hard you work than how well<br />
you learn. Growth is not about the genius<br />
you possess – it’s about the character you<br />
develop. Grant explores how to build the<br />
character skills and motivational<br />
structures to realise our own potential,<br />
and how to design systems that create<br />
opportunities for those who have been<br />
underrated and overlooked.<br />
This book reveals how anyone can rise to<br />
achieve greater things. The true measure<br />
of your potential is not the height of the<br />
peak you’ve reached, but how far you’ve<br />
climbed to get there.<br />
Blackouts & Boerewors<br />

Country duo as they dive into their best braai recipes for the Eishkom<br />
disaster. Welcome to the braaight side of load-shedding life!<br />
