"“You don’t have to be a wunderkind to accomplish great things,” according to this stimulating if inconclusive study. Drawing lessons from the stories of high achievers, bestseller
Grant
(Think Again), an organizational psychologist at the Wharton School, contends that realizing one’s potential requires getting “comfortable being uncomfortable” and recounts how Steve Martin bombed gig after gig as a young comic in the 1960s until he decided to overcome his reluctance to writing jokes (rather than improvising onstage) by writing for a variety show.

is a talented storyteller, though his reliance on anecdotal evidence leaves some doubt as to the replicability of the advice. He’s more successful in his data-driven exploration of how to design social systems to bring out the best in people; for instance, he points out research showing that Finland’s practice of making psychologists and social workers available to struggling students leads to better education outcomes. This intrigues, even if it doesn’t always convince."--Publishers Weekly.
