Welcome to Intelligence Squared where great minds meet. I'm head of programming Conor Boyle. We're looking back at some of our favourite books of the year in our 12 books of Christmas. Today's episode is with author and psychologist Adam Grant. Grant joined us alongside columnist Tim Harford to discuss the science behind achieving success in work and in life, themes from his book Hidden Potential, The Science of Achieving Greater Things.
Let's go to the episode now. Well, thank you very much. Thank you, Connor. Thank you everybody for coming on such a miserable, miserable cold evening. It's really well, we can all huddle together for warmth like penguins and we'll be fine.
I am uh I'm Tim Harford, as you heard. Uh it is my pleasure to introduce uh Adam Grant and what what can I say about Adam? I mean he is one of the uh the the most uh exciting and most readable thinkers in the world today. He's also a man who once had hidden potential.
