BOOKS

HIDDEN POTENTIAL: THE SCIENCE OF ACHIEVING GREATER THINGS

By Adam Grant

Bestselling author and celebrated Wharton organizational psychologist Adam Grant returns with an illuminating framework for how we can elevate ourselves and others to new heights. In a world obsessed with talent, we often overlook the distance we ourselves can go to adopt new skills and improve. Weaving together groundbreaking evidence, unexpected insights and storytelling that takes us from the boardroom to the Olympics, Grant demonstrates how growth is not determined by innate genius, but rather by character development. While many writers have detailed the habits of those who have achieved greatness, Hidden Potential reveals how anyone can rise to the top.

As the creator of ImageNet, a key catalyst of modern AI, Dr. Li has spent more than two decades in the field and is one of the critical players responsible for AI’s recent advances. Recounting her extraordinary life, she describes her family’s difficult transition from China’s middle class to American poverty, how she discovered her passion for physics, and her scientific breakthroughs that have demonstrated the extraordinary possibilities and power of this era-defining technology.

UNREASONABLE HOSPITALITY: THE REMARKABLE POWER OF GIVING PEOPLE MORE THAN THEY EXPECT

By Will Guidara

Only 26 when he took the helm of Eleven Madison Park, American restaurateur Will Guidara would transform a struggling two-star New York City brasserie into the best restaurant in the world. At the center of this major 11-year reinvention was a commitment to remarkable, bespoke hospitality. Unreasonable Hospitality makes the case that all businesses can be hospitality companies when they deliver their products in a first-class way. From surprising a family with a sledding trip to Central Park to filling a private dining room with sand for a couple with a canceled vacation, Guidara reveals how we can transform ordinary transactions into extraordinary experiences.

Accompanied by interviews with global tastemakers who share insights into all things travel, and recommendations from some of the world’s most distinctive hotels, Extraordinary Celebrations will inspire once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

BIG BETS: HOW LARGE-SCALE CHANGE REALLY HAPPENS

By Rajiv Shah

Rajiv Shah, President of the Rockefeller Foundation, is no stranger to solving complex and urgent challenges, from helping vaccinate 900 million children to racing to stop the spread of Ebola. His approach employs a “big bets” philosophy – the bold idea that seeking to solve the stickiest problems directly, rather than making incremental improvements, can draw in powerful partners to achieve transformational change. Shah, an Indian American from an immigrant family, traces his path to the Rockefeller Foundation across some of the most ambitious global efforts to create impact, including posts at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the U.S. Agency for International Development.
