PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

El autor del bestseller PiΓ©nsalo otra vez nos explica cΓ³mo sacar el mΓ‘ximo de nosotros mismos y de los demΓ‘s para lograr cosas inimaginables.

Este libro comienza con un pequeΓ±o milagro: en 1991, un grupo de chicos afroamericanos de un conflictivo instituto de Harlem ganΓ³ al todopoderoso colegio privado Dalton en el Campeonato Nacional de Ajedrez para Alumnos de Secundaria. DetrΓ‘s de ese Γ©xito inesperado se encontraba el joven maestro ajedrecista Maurice Ashley, que demostrΓ³ dos cosas: que el talento no es innato y que la motivaciΓ³n y el desarrollo del carΓ‘cter son clave para el Γ©xito, incluso cuando todo parece estar en contra.

El psicΓ³logo organizacional Adam Grant estΓ‘ convencido de que querer es poder, pero tambiΓ©n es consciente de que, en ocasiones, uno puede perder de vista sus objetivos y venirse abajo ante las adversidades. Es ahΓ­ cuando entra en juego la educaciΓ³n como gran agente revulsivo. Como el propio autor confiesa, Β«si hubiera juzgado mi potencial por mis primeros fracasos, me habrΓ­a rendido enseguida. Lo que aprendΓ­ por el camino me ayudΓ³ a crear mis propios andamiajes para avanzar en el futuroΒ».

A travΓ©s de anΓ©cdotas de gran valor testimonial y de su larga experiencia como investigador y docente, Grant apuesta por la importancia de la educaciΓ³n del carΓ‘cter, la motivaciΓ³n y la igualdad de oportunidades para formar personas que no sΓ³lo logren tener Γ©xito, sino que ademΓ‘s se sientan realizadas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The author of the bestseller Think Again explains how to bring out the best in ourselves and others to achieve unimaginable things.

This book begins with a small miracle: in 1991, a group of African American students from a troubled Harlem high school defeated the prestigious private Dalton School in the U.S. National High School Chess Championship. Behind this unexpected success was the young chess master Maurice Ashley, who proved two key points: talent is not innate, and motivation and character development are essential for success--even when the odds seem stacked against you.

Organizational psychologist Adam Grant firmly believes that determination leads to success, but he also acknowledges that people sometimes lose sight of their goals and feel discouraged by adversity. That is when education becomes a powerful force for change. As Grant himself admits, "Had I judged my potential based on my early failures, I would have given up immediately. What I learned along the way helped me build my own scaffolding to move forward in the future."

Through powerful real-life anecdotes and his extensive experience as a researcher and educator, Grant highlights the importance of character education, motivation, and equal opportunities--not only to help people achieve success, but also to ensure they feel fulfilled in the process.
