"ORIGINALS is one of the most important and captivating books I
have ever read, full of surprising and powerful ideas. It will not
only change the way you see the world; it might just change the way
you live your life. And it could very well inspire you to change
your world."
*Sheryl Sandberg, bestselling author of LEAN IN*
"Reading ORIGINALS made me feel like I was seated across from Adam
Grant at a dinner party, as one of my favorite thinkers thrilled me
with his insights and his wonderfully new take on the world."
*Malcolm Gladwell*
"After launching hundreds of businesses—from airlines to trains,
music to mobile, and now a spaceline—my biggest challenges and
successes have come from convincing other people to see the world
differently. ORIGINALS reveals how that can be done and will help
you inspire creativity and change."
*Sir Richard Branson*
"This extraordinary, wildly entertaining book sheds new light on
the Age of Disruption. What does it take to make a meaningful
difference? And how can you apply this insight to your own life? By
debunking myths of success stories, challenging long-held beliefs
of process, and finding commonality among those who are agents of
profound change, Adam Grant gives us a powerful new perspective on
not just our place in the world, but our potential to shake it up
entirely."
*JJ Abrams, director of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, co-creator
and executive producer of Lost, and cofounder of Bad Robot*
"Adam Grant is one of the great social scientists of our time"
*Susan Cain, author of QUIET*
