Granted

By Adam Grant

Adam Grant’s newsletter on psychology and work.

If he weren't so famous, I think we'd be friends who take walks and talk about interesting things. A little on the academic side but always, always thought provoking.

There's light here.

Funny, a bit irreverent, and a chance to see the world.
