Adam Grant

As an organizational psychologist, Adam Grant rethinks how we work and live. He has been Wharton’s top-rated professor for 7 straight years, and his research has inspired people to question assumptions about leadership, success, character, culture, and change. He is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of 6 books that have sold millions of copies and been praised by Oprah, Mark Cuban, Malcolm Gladwell, Trevor Noah, and Serena Williams. This October, he’s releasing a new book, Vibe: The Secrets of Strong Connections in a Lonely World. Adam’s TED talks have over 35 million views, and his podcasts have over 100 million downloads; he hosts Rethinking and co-hosts The Curiosity Shop with Brené Brown.

He has been recognized as the world’s #2 most influential management thinker and in Fortune’s 40 Under 40. He has advised leaders at Google, Pixar, and the NBA; served on the Defense Innovation Board at the Pentagon; and received awards from the American Psychological Association and the National Science Foundation. His viral NYT op-ed on languishing was the most-saved article of 2021, and he shares new insights in his Substack newsletter, Granted. Adam received his B.A. from Harvard and his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, and he is a former magician and Junior Olympic springboard diver. He lives in Philadelphia with his wife Allison (a novelist and poet), two cats (who don’t get along), and three children (who mostly do).
