Originals examines what makes certain people capable of generating groundbreaking ideas and challenging conventional thinking. Drawing from psychology, business, and real-world case studies, Adam Grant explores how originality is less about genius and more about habits, mindset, and willingness to question the status quo.
The book highlights how innovators balance risk carefully, often succeeding not by reckless action but through strategic experimentation and persistence. Grant also discusses how organizations and leaders can create environments that encourage creativity, constructive disagreement, and unconventional thinking.
Through examples from entrepreneurs, activists, and creative professionals, the book demonstrates how original thinkers identify opportunities for change and influence others to support new ideas. It also addresses common fears surrounding failure, criticism, and uncertainty.
Originals is widely regarded in business, leadership, and psychology literature. It is ideal for entrepreneurs, students, managers, and creatives who want to develop innovative thinking and challenge conventional approaches, offering practical insights into creativity, leadership, and meaningful change.
