So how do you navigate this new landscape and come out on top? Adam Grant, Wharton organizational psychologist, went to the World Economic Forum in Davos, the epicenter of power, and sat down with thought leaders from around the world, to find out.

Por lo general, asumimos que la inteligencia es la habilidad de pensar y aprender, pero en un mundo que cambia rápidamente como el actual, las habilidades para repensar y desaprender empiezan a valorarse más. Muchas personas privilegian la comodidad y la convicción por encima de la incomodidad y la duda; escuchan solo aquellas opiniones que les hacen sentir bien, en vez de las ideas que los desafían; ven el desacuerdo como una amenaza para su ego, en vez de una oportunidad para aprender.

Después de la repentina muerte de su marido, Sheryl Sandberg creyó que ni ella ni sus hijos podrían volver a ser felices. «Estaba en "la nada"», escribe, «en un vacío inabarcable que inunda el corazón y los pulmones, y merma la capacidad para pensar e incluso para respirar.» Su amigo Adam Grant, psicólogo en Wharton, le explicó que hay unos pasos concretos que podemos dar para recuperarnos y reponernos de las experiencias que nos destrozan la vida. No nacemos con una cantidad determinada de resiliencia, sino que ésta es un músculo que todos podemos desarrollar.

Adam Grant examina a crucial arte de repensar: aprender a questionar nossas opiniões e a abrir a mente das outras pessoas, o que pode nos levar à excelência no trabalho e à sabedoria na vida.

Qual é o segredo das pessoas originais? Será que a criatividade é uma qualidade inata ou uma habilidade que pode ser estimulada ou mesmo aprendida? Em seu novo livro, Adam Grant desmistifica muitas das crenças que existem em torno das mentes criativas.
