Overview
This two-book paperback set brings together two of Adam Grant's most influential works of business psychology: Originals: How Non-Conformists Change the World and Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success. Together they explore two sides of the same coin, how bold, unconventional thinking sparks breakthroughs, and how generosity and reciprocity build lasting influence. Backed by Grant's research as a Wharton organizational psychologist, this collection blends rigorous studies with memorable stories from business, sports, and everyday life. It's an ideal set for professionals, students, and anyone rethinking how creativity and collaboration drive real success.
About the Books
This collection pairs two landmark works from Adam Grant, one of the most widely read voices in organizational psychology. Originals: How Non-Conformists Change the World examines why some people challenge convention while others simply go along with it, and how those willing to champion new ideas manage to overturn established thinking without losing everything in the process. Drawing on research spanning entrepreneurship, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant shows readers how to recognize a promising idea, voice dissent without getting sidelined, build support for a new approach, and choose the right moment to act. Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success turns to a different question, namely how habits of reciprocity shape career outcomes. Grant divides people into givers, takers, and matchers, and argues, with data and vivid case studies, that givers who protect their own boundaries often rise the furthest, building networks rooted in trust rather than self-interest. Read together, the two books offer a fuller picture of what drives success: the courage to think differently paired with the wisdom to work generously with others. Both titles remain staples of business school reading lists and corporate training programs.
