Adam Grant

Adam Grant is an organizational psychologist and Wharton's top-rated professor for seven straight years — a leading expert on how we find motivation and meaning, rethink our assumptions, and live more generous and creative lives. He is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of six books, including Think Again, Give and Take, Originals, and Option B (with Sheryl Sandberg), which have sold millions of copies and been translated into 45 languages. Recognized as one of the world's most influential management thinkers and a member of Fortune's 40 Under 40, he was tenured at Wharton while still in his twenties.

Grant's TED talks have been viewed more than 35 million times, and his podcasts Re:Thinking and WorkLife have been downloaded over 100 million times. He earned his PhD in organizational psychology from the University of Michigan in under three years and his BA from Harvard, and — in an earlier life — performed as a professional magician and competed as a Junior Olympic springboard diver. His speaking and advisory clients include Google, the NBA, Bridgewater, and the Gates Foundation, and he has served on the Pentagon's Defense Innovation Board.
