  • Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet.

  • I'm head of Programming Conor Boyle.

  • We're looking back at some of our favorite books of the year in our 12 books of Christmas.

  • Today's episode is with author and psychologist Adam Grant.

  • Grant joined us alongside columnist Tim Harford to discuss the science behind achieving success in work and in life.

  • Themes from his book, Hidden the Science of Achieving Greater Things.

  • Let's go to the episode now.

  • Well, thank you very much.

  • Thank you, Connor.

  • Thank you, everybody, for coming on such a miserable, miserable, cold evening.

  • It's really.

  • Well, we can all huddle together for warmth like penguins, and we'll be fine.

  • I'm Tim Harford.

  • As you heard, it is my pleasure to introduce Adam Grant.

  • And what can I say about Adam?

  • I mean, he's one of the most exciting and most readable thinkers in the world today.

  • He's also a man who once had hidden potential, was a competitive diver who was afraid of heights.

  • When he was admitted to university, he was asked to take a writing test, and his writing was so disastrous, he.

  • He was told that he needed remedial lessons to improve it.

  • Now, of course, he's an enormous success.
