Give and Take

Do you ever wonder if you’re too generous? Struggle over how much to give to others before expecting something in return? Or do you admittedly prefer to be on the receiving end of the giving process? In either case, this book offers you a valuable lesson: when it’s done right, giving is a good thing. Contrary to the mentality that “nice finish last”, Adam Grant proves the contrary.This is not a philosophical mantra. Grant, Wharton’s youngest tenured professor and top-rated teacher uses social science data and stories of super givers to prove that “those who give first are often best positioned for success later.”
