“Potential is not a matter of where you start, but of how far you travel,” writes psychologist and professor Adam Grant in his new book, Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things. When Oprah spoke with Grant in front of a live audience at the Hearst Tower in New York City, she asked him to elaborate on that very idea. The conversation that followed is part of Oprah Daily’s “The Life You Want” series, and it turns out everything you thought you knew about achieving greatness is wrong.
In his conversation with Oprah, Grant debunks widely accepted theories around success —namely, that greatness is something you are born with, not something you can cultivate. From the boardroom to the classroom, his research shows that character traits such as resilience and discipline are a far greater indicator of future achievement than raw talent. The conversation that followed is part of Oprah Daily’s “The Life You Want” series and explains, in Grant’s words, “how we can all improve at improving.”
“The Life You Want” Class: Potential will launch on October 25 at 4 p.m. For now, you can watch the trailer above (be sure to wait until the end to hear Oprah reveal what she procrastinates on). Along with the conversation, we’re releasing content that will help you find your passion, dial up your creativity and more. As Grant says, achieving greater things is, quite literally, about taking the leap—even before you think you’re ready.
