520 "The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again
illuminates how we can elevate ourselves and others to
unexpected heights. We live in a world that's obsessed
with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school,
natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music.
But admiring people who start out with innate advantages
leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel.
We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and
the amount of ground that we can gain. When opportunity
doesn't knock, there are ways to to build a door. Hidden
Potential offers a new framework for reaching aspirations
and exceeding expectations. Realizing potential isn't
about being a workaholic or a perfectionist. What matters
most is not how hard we work, but how well we learn. It's
not about being a genius-growth depends more on developing
character skills than cognitive skills. The character
skills that propel progress include the proactivity to
absorb and adapt to new information, the courage to
embrace discomfort, and the determination to find the
beauty in imperfections. Mastering those skills doesn't
require us to find the one perfect mentor or expert coach
to guide us. Often we just need to borrow a compass to
begin charting our own path. And we can clear the path for
more people by building better systems of opportunity in
our schools, teams, and workplaces. Many writers have
chronicled the habits of superstars who accomplish great
things. This book breaks new ground by revealing how
anyone can rise to achieve greater things. The true
measure of your potential isn't the height of the peak you
reach, but how far you climb to get there"--|cProvided by
